In do they replicate higher altitudes? Or is there a noticeable improvement in performance?

If interested in the later, plenty of scientific journal's to read through!

Just one study which is Australian compared relatively low altitude training (Thredbo) with others training at Thredbo but also spending 9 hours in an Altitude tent to that of those training at lower elevations and found both variations of altitude training saw improvement over the sea level group.

Note they are not big improvements, but for elite athletes the difference between gold and not podium it could make a difference.

Plenty of references to other studies within that so will offer more reading.
