Participants in the moderate altitude (MAHE) study will spend oneweek in Silandro/Schlanders for baseline measurements, followed by fourconsecutive weeks at Rifugio Nino Corsi / Zufallhütte between August andSeptember. Selected post-exposure measurements will then be conducted inBolzano in the week after returning from moderate altitude. Screening visits inBolzano will be scheduled between July and August on an individual basis.
