Your place is not listed
Enter any elevation in metres or feet in the altitude oxygen calculator. It gives the same figures for any height up to 6,000 m. For the flight there, the oxygen on a plane tool estimates the cabin altitude.
How to read these pages
Each group is listed from lowest to highest. The elevation on each page comes from a named source, shown under the figures. Towns and resorts cover a range of heights, so check where you are sleeping and enter that if it differs.
The expected SpO2 range is for a healthy adult from low altitude, awake and at rest, in the first day or two. Readings usually rise by a few points over the first week, and overnight readings sit lower than daytime ones. To see your nights, record them with a pulse oximeter and open the file in the free session viewer. Blood oxygen at altitude covers what to expect night by night.
Log every night of the trip
An account keeps each night you record, at home and at altitude, so you can line the nights up and see how your overnight oxygen changes from one to the next.
- Every recording saved and searchable
- Compare any nights, any time
- ODI, T90 and CVHR trends over time
- Tag nights with what you changed
- See which habits line up with your numbers
- Describe a night in plain English
