Adjusting to the Higher Altitude in Utah

The Chateaux at Deer Valley is at an altitude of 8130 feet (2480 meters), where the air pressure is only 75% of that at sea level. Traveling from a low-altitude locale to the higher altitude of Park City may cause some visitors to exhibit some mildly uncomfortable symptoms like:

  • headaches
  • dehydration
  • body aches
  • “flu”-like symptoms in the muscles and joints

How can you adjust to the higher altitude and avoid or diminish these kinds of symptoms?

Drink plenty of water! Utah’s water from the faucet is clean, pure, healthy, and delightful. You’ll enjoy drinking LOTS of Utah water!  Keeping your body hydrated is very important because high altitudes can dehydrate your system. This can be further complicated in arid regions like Utah AND “jet-lag” can make symptoms worse!

If possible, on the first day you arrive, REST and avoid strenuous exercise to give your body time to adjust. Small and frequent meals of protein and complex carbohydrates can help keep symptoms to a minimum.

At the higher altitude, avoid or minimize consumption of alcohol, caffeine, and simple carbohydrates like sugar. Avoiding heavy meals and smoking is also recommended. Caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and simple carbohydrates affect the body’s ability to metabolize, and can bring more symptoms or make them worse. Remember, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol can remain in your system for some time and should be avoided even 48 hours before traveling to a higher altitude.
