Mountain Village sits at approximately 9,545 feet, where lower oxygen levels, low humidity, sun, wind, and cold can change how your body and skin feel. Learn how to approach your first days at elevation — and when relaxation or skincare may complement your visit.
Spa services do not treat altitude sickness. Do not continue to higher elevations while experiencing symptoms of altitude illness. If symptoms worsen while resting — or you experience shortness of breath at rest, chest congestion, a persistent or worsening cough, confusion, extreme fatigue, or difficulty walking — descend and seek medical attention immediately. Call 911 in an emergency.
Acclimatization takes time and varies from person to person. Physical fitness does not eliminate the risk of altitude illness.
General guidance for travelers arriving at elevation:
— Ascend gradually when possible.
— Keep physical activity mild during the first 48 hours.
— Avoid alcohol during the first 48 hours.
— Do not travel higher while experiencing symptoms.
— Speak with a healthcare professional before traveling if you have heart or lung disease, a history of serious altitude illness, or other relevant medical conditions.
Guidance adapted from the CDC's high-altitude travel and altitude illness recommendations. This page is general information, not medical advice.
Low humidity, stronger sun exposure, wind, cold, and travel can leave skin feeling dry, tight, or uncomfortable. The spa's altitude-focused facials are cosmetic wellness services designed to hydrate and comfort the skin — not to treat altitude illness.
The Glo2 Oxygen Facial is a cosmetic skincare treatment. It is not supplemental oxygen therapy and does not treat altitude sickness or low blood oxygen. See the full treatment menu.
If you feel well and have no concerning symptoms, a quiet spa visit can provide space to slow down after traveling. Consider gentle movement, a hydrating facial, a customized relaxation massage, or time in available relaxation areas based on your comfort.
If a day on the mountain is the other half of the picture, see post-ski recovery.
Reserve a hydrating facial or a relaxation treatment, or call the spa team with questions about your visit.
