Acclimatizing well is the secret to a successful climb in the Alps! 🧗 It will prevent you from being worn out and getting altitude sickness even before your main climb starts.

Here are some helpful tips on how to train yourself to become used to the thin alpine air 🙌

🏔 Acclimatize for Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps (4810m) - If you conquer this mountain, then you'll be able to climb others with a lower altitude.

🏞 Train at your pace - Gaining not more than a thousand metres per day is a good basic strategy and gives you a chance to see how you're doing on this trip.

🏃‍♂️ Walk and climb in increasing altitudes - This will make your body used to working up high.

🏕 Sleep high, but only when you've acclimatized to the higher altitude.

💊 In the event that you find yourself experiencing Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), go down immediately. You can also take Diamox (Acetazolamide) which will treat AMS by making your blood more acidic, thus driving ventilation.
