Medical Center Obertauern
Obertauern hosts a medical center (Arztpraxis or Gesundheitszentrum) providing essential healthcare services to residents and visitors. This includes general medical consultations, first aid for injuries common in winter sports, and emergency care. The presence of doctors directly in the resort ensures quick response times for minor to moderate health issues, reducing the need for immediate travel to larger towns. Services are usually available during specific consultation hours, with emergency numbers provided for out-of-hours care. It's vital infrastructure for a busy ski resort. Consultations are typically covered by European health insurance cards (EHIC) or travel insurance. Operating hours often align with resort opening times, focusing on winter high season.
