1. start slowly

Those who start training immediately after arrival quickly reach their limits. The body needs time to adjust to the new conditions. The so-called snap breathing on the day of arrival is quite normal. After all, you may come from the lowlands directly to 1,560 meters above sea level.

2. give your body time

Your body gradually adapts to the height. The acclimatisation phase in Davos at around 1,500 metres lasts about two to four days. After that, sleep is just as restful as at sea level. In this situation, you should allow yourself enough time to get used to it.

3. Don't forget to drink enough

The higher you are, the drier the air. Those who train in Davos benefit from the dry, alpine stimulating climate. However, the mucous membranes and the increased breathing rate need more fluid. The body consumes more minerals and electrolytes. Drinking a lot is the motto here.

4. Correct timing is crucial

Make sure you match your competition well with altitude training: either directly in the first two days after your return to the lowlands or after a waiting period of up to 20 days. In days four to nine, the body adjusts again. In this critical phase you should not take part in any competition.
