Medical Center / Guardia Medica

Sestriere hosts a medical center providing first aid and general medical assistance, particularly crucial during the busy ski season. The 'Guardia Medica Turistica' (Tourist Medical Service) offers services for minor injuries, illnesses, and emergencies not requiring hospitalization. It's staffed by doctors and nurses. Opening hours are usually extended during peak tourist seasons (winter and summer). Costs may vary based on nationality and insurance coverage, but basic services for residents are generally free. Located centrally within the village for easy access.
