# Adjusting to Aspen's altitude

> Aspen sits near 7,900 ft. Practical tips for feeling good on day one: hydration, pacing, sleep and the stairs.

**Short answer:** Aspen 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.
