The town of Vail sits at 8,150, above sea level and guests may struggle with altitude sickness. Altitude sickness can affect anyone regardless of physical condition or age. The most common symptoms include: headache, dizziness and nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, disturbed sleep. Staying hydrated is essential! If you can, consider arriving early to give yourself time to adjust.

Please note that alcohol is more potent at high altitudes. Don’t find out the hard way! When drinking, we recommend you alternate between a drink and a glass of water. One drink here = two drinks there!

If you experience any type of altitude sickness during your stay, call Alpine Mobile Physicians. Experienced physicians will provide personalized care in the privacy of your home, office, or hotel room.
