What is included in my Hypoxia registration? Registration for the conference and attendance at all official functions. Also, only registered Hypoxia delegates can get the special Hypoxia room and meals rate at the Chateau.

What is included in my Hypoxia registration for an accompanying person? An accompanying person is a spouse or friend who is not planning to attend the scientific program, but would would like to join you for the evening after-dinner program. For example, if Dr. Jones and her husband Bill are attending, but Bill is planning to ski all day, they both need to be registered. Dr. Jones as a regular delegate, and Bill as an accompanying person. Also, our agreement with the Chateau stipulates that all guests of the Hotel under our program will be registered delegates.

What is included in my Chateau room reservation? From Tuesday evening through Sunday morning your hotel room reservation includes all meals and coffee breaks. If you choose to come early, and leave late, your meals will not be included in the room price.
