The healing properties of mountains and alpine resorts have been known since ancient times. The secret is in the air! The main therapeutic factor is air depleted in oxygen, in other words "hypoxia". In high altitude there is less oxygen.  Under these conditions, the body works in a mode of "struggle for oxygen". To provide adequate oxygen to the tissues, our body has to mobilize inner resources; breathing becomes more frequent, blood circulation increases, and as a result, vitality is promoted.
