How can I pre-acclimatize for high altitudes?

Although being in good shape is a good predictor of how you will adapt to the altitude changes, the ability to easily acclimatize to high altitudes is mostly genetic.

To prepare, you can pre-acclimatize at home by hiking at altitude. If this is unavailable to you prior to your trip, you can opt to prepare with an altitude training system.

This system consists of a generator that pushes reduced oxygen into a mask or an enclosed space. You can then sleep or do low impact workouts with reduced oxygen to pre-acclimatize yourself to hiking at high altitudes.
