If you’re planning a trip to the mountains or hosting a high-altitude event in Colorado, an oxygen bar can be the perfect blend of wellness and fun. Oxygen bars have become a popular way to unwind, refresh, and support your body’s natural recovery—especially when altitude, exertion, or celebration catch up with you.
Whether you’re experiencing shortness of breath, recovering from a hike, or just looking for a unique way to entertain guests, here’s how to make the most of your oxygen bar experience—and why Summit Oxygen is the go-to provider in Frisco, Summit County, and surrounding areas like Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, and Keystone.
What Is an Oxygen Bar, and How Does It Work?
An oxygen bar, sometimes called an O2 bar, delivers concentrated oxygen through a nasal cannula, often infused with aromatherapy scents like eucalyptus, peppermint, or citrus. At Summit Oxygen, we use medical-grade oxygen concentrators to extract nitrogen from the air and provide you with oxygen-rich airflow in a comfortable, relaxing setting.
Summit Oxygen offers a mobile oxygen party bar for events, providing a fun and refreshing way to enjoy a boost of pure oxygen with friends, family, or coworkers. Guests can also receive real-time insights through pulse oximeter readings, allowing them to see the difference before and after their oxygen session
Benefits of an Oxygen Bar Visit
Visiting an oxygen bar isn’t just trendy—it can also support your health and well-being, especially in mountain environments. Here’s how it helps:
Helps with Altitude Adjustment: If you’re feeling a bit off—like tired, dizzy, or queasy—breathing in some extra oxygen can help you feel more balanced and comfortable.
Improves Concentration and Mood: Increased oxygen flow to the brain enhances alertness, memory, and mental clarity—making it great for post-hike recovery or pre-ski prep.
Supports Relaxation: The calming environment paired with oxygen and essential oils can reduce stress, anxiety, and even mild insomnia.
Enhances Energy: Oxygen supports cellular metabolism, helping you feel more refreshed and ready for physical activity at higher elevations.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Oxygen Bar Session
If it’s your first time at an oxygen bar, follow these simple tips to maximize your experience:
Hydrate Beforehand
Hydration is key at high altitudes. Oxygen therapy works best when your fluid levels are balanced, helping ease dehydration symptoms like headaches, fatigue, or dry skin.
Pick Your Aroma Wisely
Each aromatherapy scent offers different benefits. For example:
- Peppermint: Energizing and may reduce nausea
- Lavender: Calming and great for stress relief
- Eucalyptus: Supports the respiratory system and opens airways
Don’t Rush
A session typically lasts 10–20 minutes. Sit comfortably, breathe deeply, and enjoy the ambiance. Take this time to relax and let your oxygen saturation levels stabilize.
Use It Before or After Activities
Many visitors use oxygen bars before skiing, hiking, or biking to improve endurance—or after the activity to aid recovery.
