Medical Emergency Service (Ambulatorio Medico Ortisei)
For non-life-threatening medical needs and first aid, Ortisei has an 'Ambulatorio Medico' (medical outpatient clinic) that provides basic medical consultations and emergency assistance for tourists. It's equipped to handle common ailments, minor injuries, and prescription refills. For more serious emergencies, patients are directed to larger hospitals in Bolzano or Bressanone. Always advisable to carry travel insurance. Opening hours vary by season, but there is usually a doctor on call or available for limited hours daily during peak seasons. Consultation fees apply for non-EU citizens.
