Altitude rooms
Altitude adaptation. Maximum performance.
The Hotel Planica offers 10 altitude hypoxic rooms (20 beds) equipped with an advanced system for simulating high-altitude living. This technology enables a controlled reduction in oxygen concentration, promoting altitude adaptation in the body and improving aerobic performance.
The hypoxic rooms are designed for elite athletes, national teams, and training groups seeking to optimise endurance, recovery, and training efficiency in a controlled environment. The stay combines a scientifically supported method of altitude training with the comfort of hotel accommodation.
Individual or group use is available as part of sports training camps in Planica.
How we simulate high-altitude conditions
Using an advanced system, we create conditions that simulate living at higher altitude and activate the body’s physiological and biochemical adaptation mechanisms.
Research shows that exposure to altitudes of around 2,000 metres promotes altitude adaptation, enhances aerobic capacity, and may have a positive effect on the immune system.
Due to the reduced oxygen concentration (hypoxia), processes are triggered that improve oxygen utilisation in the body, endurance, and recovery, contributing to better physical condition and athletic performance.
Improve your endurance
Altitude training is one of the key factors for success in endurance sports. In Planica, we provide excellent conditions for the controlled altitude simulation, along with expert support to optimise training.
Altitude conditions can be simulated in:
- 10 altitude rooms (20 beds) – up to 6,000 m above sea level
- a specialised testing room – up to 6,000 m above sea level
- a gym – up to 2,500 m above sea level
The system allows precise adjustment of simulated altitude based on the goals of an individual or team, creating optimal conditions for improving aerobic capacity, endurance, and recovery.
Please consult the hotel staff prior to making a reservation.
