Adjusting to Aspen's altitude
The short answerAspen is about 7,900 ft above sea level. Drink more water than usual, go easy on alcohol the first night, and take the first day gently. The three flights up to the penthouse will feel steeper on day one. This is general advice, not medical guidance.
Day-one plan
- Hydrate on the way up
- An easy walk around town instead of a big hike
- Early night. The bedroom has motorized shades.

The Galena Penthouse
Ten steps from Aspen Mountain.
The Galena Penthouse is a 772 sq ft, one-bedroom, top-floor condo in Aspen's Durant Condominiums, with a private landing shared with no other residence and nobody above. Floor-to-ceiling windows look straight onto Aspen Mountain and the Aztec ski run. An access trail ten steps from the back door leads onto the mountain, and the Silver Queen Gondola and downtown Aspen are both an easy walk. It sleeps two, with a king bed, a wood-burning fireplace, a full kitchen, Sonos, and a seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub. Reserve direct with Dunn Estates, with no third-party platform fees.
