Experience altitude acclimatization in a new way! Get used to the low-oxygen mountain air - comfortably from home and with the long-standing know-how of our experts. For a shortened expedition duration, more efficiency as well as higher chances of success on the mountain.

Our Hypoxic systems can simulate altitudes of up to 7,000m. In this way, you will be pre-acclimatized to your upcoming expedition in a highly efficient and individual way and can reach your summit in the shortest possible time.

Our Experience with Altitude Training

We've got almost 20 years of experience with these special hypoxic systems. We started using hypoxic systems in 2002 and started Everest expeditions with hypoxic pre-acclimatizationin 2016. In 2018, we were the first Everest operator to reach the summit in less than three weeks from home with all members, pre-acclimatized with hypoxic systems. Every member acclimatized for 8 weeks in the hypoxic tent at home and stood on top of the world only 21 days after departure. Thus the duration of an Everest expedition could be shortened by more than half from 8 to only 3 weeks! A revolution in the history of mountaineering! That's when the so-called "Everest Flash Expedition" began being a staple in our annual program. And meanwhile we have applied the successfull formula of pre-acclimatization to further expeditions: Aconcagua Flash, Ama Dablam Flash, Broad Peak Flash, Cho Oyu Flash, Manaslu Flash. And new achievments are coming in regularly: 2019 one of our Flash clients summited K2 without oxygen in a 21 days round trip from New York. And another member summited Broad Peak in 14 days without oxygen thanks to pre-acclimatization.

More Safety & Shorter Expedition Duration

The main reason for unsuccessful ascents of 8000ers is the long acclimatization period on the mountain. The multiple and partly dangerous and tiring ascents and descents and the danger of infections in the base camp, where many people are in a confined space, rob many climbers their strength before the actual ascent has even begun. So why acclimatise in base camp when it is also possible at home? While at the same time significantly increasing the success of the expedition and using the possibility of shortening the duration of the expedition (almost) by half?

At Furtenbach Adventures, we offer exclusive Flash Expeditions to reach the summit in a minimum of time. More security, more flexibility, more chances of success!
Take advantage of the possibility of pre-acclimatization on your own expeditions!
