High-altitude climate at the Buff Medical Resort: innovation for your health
In a world where innovative health solutions are becoming increasingly important, the Buff Medical Resort on Lake Constance is setting new standards with its unique altitude climate technology. This globally unique innovation offers guests the opportunity to enjoy the health-promoting effects of a stay at altitude – without the inconvenience of an actual mountain holiday.
The science behind the high-altitude climate
Harry Mutschler, founder and owner of Höhenbalance, explains the revolutionary concept: “Here at the Buff Medical Resort, we use a technology called normobaric hypoxia. This is slightly different from the hypoxia we experience in the mountains, as we don’t change the air pressure. We simply filter the oxygen out of the air and bring this mixture into the rooms.”
The decisive advantage lies in the control and individualisation. “The advantage of this technology is that we don’t have low pressure, which is better for our ears. We can also adjust and optimise the height individually,” explains Mutschler. In contrast to a real altitude stay, where you have to adapt to a fixed altitude, at the Buff Medical Resort the simulated altitude of up to 4,000 metres can be precisely tailored to the individual needs and performance of the guest.
The ‘sleep high, train low’ principle
The concept is based on the ‘sleep high, train low’ principle developed in the USA. “The first athletes slept in Colorado and trained at lower altitudes. They realised that this was a perfect combination,” explains Mutschler. ‘You benefit from the advantages of altitude training while you sleep at night and can train at high intensity in the lowlands during the day.’
This method, which was originally developed for competitive athletes, is now available to all guests at the Buff Medical Resort. “Every cell in our body has to react to this hypoxia. It is a stress for our cells, and this creates many positive reactions,” continues Mutschler. “It’s a bit like training: you train, you’re a bit tired afterwards, but the next day you’re more relaxed and fitter. That’s exactly what happens here, just by sleeping at altitude.”
Health benefits of the high altitude climate
The advantages of this innovative technology are manifold and scientifically proven:
- Regeneration of the mitochondria: The ‘power stations’ of your cells are strengthened, which leads to more energy in the body and fewer oxidative pollutants.
- Improved blood circulation: Optimum oxygen supply to the body and organs is ensured, which supports all bodily functions.
- More efficient fat burning: The activated metabolism supports sustainable weight reduction and helps to lose excess pounds.
- Strengthening the immune system: The high altitude climate promotes regeneration and mobilisation of the body’s defences, increasing your resistance.
- Deeper relaxation: Recovery after exertion and stress is promoted, which leads to a deeper sense of well-being.
- Better quality of sleep: Deep, restful sleep is one of the most noticeable effects of the altitude climate.
Perfect integration into the health concept
At the Buff Medical Resort, altitude climate technology is seamlessly integrated into the holistic health concept. Dr Claas Hohmann, Medical Director of the resort, emphasises the importance of this innovation: “The altitude climate is an ideal example of our approach of combining state-of-the-art technology with holistic health principles. Guests benefit from the altitude simulation while relaxing in the comfort of their room.”
The results speak for themselves: guests report improved vitality, increased performance and a noticeable energy boost. The high-altitude climate supports healing processes, alleviates inflammation and contributes to lasting recovery.
An experience of a special kind
Anyone checking into the Buff Medical Resort can look forward to a first-class health experience. The high-altitude climate technology in all rooms and suites is just one of many components of the comprehensive health concept. In combination with tailor-made health and regeneration programmes, the resort accompanies its guests on the path to more energy, balance and joie de vivre.
Experience the power of the high altitude climate in the luxurious surroundings of the Buff Medical Resort – an innovation that takes your health to a new level while you simply sleep.
