Centre d'Expertise sur l'Altitude EXALT

The Centre d'Expertise sur l'Altitude (EXALT) is a specialized research and clinical organization based in Grenoble, France, focused on human physiology in high-altitude and hypoxic environments. Operating as a collaborative hub between the University of Grenoble Alpes and the Grenoble University Hospital, EXALT provides medical expertise, clinical trial services, and specialized training for athletes, patients with chronic respiratory or cardiac diseases, and professionals working at altitude. The center's activities include physiological assessments, altitude simulation, and the development of non-pharmacological interventions to improve hypoxia tolerance. EXALT is recognized for its large-scale scientific expeditions, such as 'Expedition 5300', which study the effects of extreme altitude on human health. Its multidisciplinary approach bridges the gap between academic research and practical applications in mountain medicine and sports science.
