What Box Altitude makes

Each system pairs an altitude generator with the space you sleep or train in: the Sleep Cloud, a four poster altitude tent that fits over your own bed; the Altitude Bedroom System, fitted to a suitable room; and the Training Cloud, which fits over a bike or treadmill so you can train at altitude indoors. You set the altitude from your phone.

Which camp heights sit within 4,000 m

Kilimanjaro

Most nights on routes such as Machame are spent at camps below about 4,000 m. The high camp and the final climb to the top, at 5,895 m, go above it.

Everest Base Camp trek

The nights up to Namche Bazaar (about 3,440 m) and Tengboche (about 3,860 m) sit within 4,000 m. From Dingboche, at about 4,410 m, the trek sleeps higher.

Aconcagua, Island Peak and Mera Peak

Only some of the approach nights sit within 4,000 m. The base camps and the climb itself go above it.

Ski touring and high alpine trips

Many huts and overnight stops sit below 4,000 m. Check your itinerary for the nights that go higher.

Heights above 4,000 m, such as Everest's higher camps, are outside the setting range. They are reached only on the mountain, on your operator's ascent plan. Heights here are approximate and vary by route and operator, so check your own itinerary.

Sleep Cloud or Altitude Bedroom System

The Sleep Cloud fits over your own bed, with no room conversion. Its settings go up to 4,000 m.

The Altitude Bedroom System converts a suitable existing room, so there is no tent over the bed. Each room is assessed before the generators are chosen. It suits people who want a permanent setup, such as guides and people who travel high often.

Planning the weeks before you fly

  1. Work back from the day you fly, and allow time for delivery and setup before your first night.
  2. Go to bed at your usual time, with the altitude set from your phone.
  3. Start at a lower setting and step it up over the weeks, with rest nights built in.
  4. Plan your last nights at home close to the day you fly.
  5. Before you start, talk to your doctor and take your plan along. Share it with your operator too. Their ascent plan still applies in full: nights at home come before the trip and do not replace any part of it.

What Box Altitude does not claim

Box Altitude systems are equipment for training at simulated altitude, with settings up to 4,000 m. Box Altitude makes no medical claims. Follow your operator's ascent plan and your doctor's advice.
