Guardia Medica Turistica (Tourist Medical Service)

During peak tourist seasons (typically winter and summer), Folgaria provides a dedicated 'Guardia Medica Turistica' service. This medical assistance point is staffed by doctors offering primary care, consultations, and first aid for minor ailments and injuries specific to tourists. It's an invaluable service for visitors who may need medical attention without accessing a full hospital. Located usually near the town center or ski facilities, it operates with specific hours, often in the mornings and evenings (e.g., 09:00-12:00 and 16:00-19:00). Fees may apply for non-emergency consultations, following standard Italian healthcare rules for tourists.
