healthcare in Tignes

Our medical center is a ski resort/mountain clinic. It consists of a general medicine area with standard consultation rooms, as well as a trauma and accident care section featuring two radiology rooms equipped with X-ray machines and an ultrasound device. Due to our distance from the hospital in Bourg-Saint-Maurice, we are able to provide emergency care such as ECGs, stiches, infusions, and more.

All our doctors are specialists in general medicine and are qualified to perform X-rays. Based on the specialties of the different doctors, our secretaries will guide you to ensure you receive the best care according to your needs and each doctor's availability.

Please note that our doctors are not radiologists; they perform X-rays solely to diagnose fractures. Similarly, ultrasounds are conducted only for 'fast echo' (a rapid method for detecting significant internal bleeding).

Our nurses provide invaluable assistance in caring for mountain victims. They are trained in orthopedics and carry out tasks such as applying casts, administering pain relief, and providing other treatments prescribed by the doctors. Patient management, including undressing, preparation, positioning, and informing the injured, is an important part of their work.

For blood tests and home care such as administering injections and changing dressings, you must have a prescription. Furthermore, this is handled by private nurses (see below). Samples that need to be sent to the medical analysis laboratory are taken down to Bourg-Saint-Maurice either by a courier or by the private nurses themselves to spare you the trip to the laboratory.

In fact, the nearest medical analysis laboratory is the laboratoire BIOGROUP in Bourg-Saint-Maurice.

We do not manage appointment scheduling for the indepandante nurses.
