We are looking at insurance, the SCGB states
If you need to see a doctor ask your hotel reception or tour representative for the nearest public/state medical facility
Where is the nearest in Espace Killy? We are just trying to choose an insurance, so it would help to know, I've looked on google but can't seem to get an answer, so wondered if it was in Bourg?

@NE1,fees for many private clinics in France can still be reimbursed by the state system. Every GP in France charges a fee.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Is the nearest medical centre / hospital private or state?
If private, where is the nearest state?

@davidof, is Moutiers hospital still open? For some time there's been a sign/banner near the bottom of the road from the Belleville valley saying save our hospital. Would seem a shame to lose it, perhaps to cuts in funding?

According to the hospitals website, yes but anything major and its Grenoble.

@NE1, there is a medical centre in T ignes which covers colds to dislocations. Anything more serious is transfered down the valley.

@stewart woodward, is it 'public' and where is it if so?

Hospitals down the valley - Bourg and after that most people end up being shipped to Chambery! I am pretty sure Moutiers is closed / closing down / scaling down for closure now but dont quote me on that!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Thanks all, it's really just about the SCGB wording in their insurance as above, regarding accessing public facilities for minor injuries. I wouldn't even know how to get to Bourg from Tignes if either of us sustained a minor injury. I have spoken to SCGB and whilst they didn't answer the question I feel slightly better about it.

I wouldn't worry. There'd be plenty of people around to help and advise if you had a problem.

You know it makes sense.
|
|
If you do have an issue, just ignore this and go to the nearest medical centre (or wherever you're taken by the blood-wagon). This is just your insurance company trying to make sure you cost them as little as possible.
