Pharmacies (Farmacia)

You will find pharmacies in the center of Ortisei (near Piazza S. Antonio Bus Stop ), Santa Cristina (near Dosses Bus Stop ), and Selva (near Piazza Nives Bus Stop ). They generally follow standard Italian business hours (08:30-12:30 and 15:30-19:00). On weekends and at night, pharmacies in the valley operate on a rotation system to ensure one is always open.

Medical Services and Doctors

General practitioners are available in every village. For sports-related injuries, which are common in the Dolomites, the 'Dolomiti Sportclinic' in Ortisei and the 'Medicus' center in Selva are highly regarded private facilities. Most doctors and staff speak excellent English and are accustomed to treating international visitors.

Pro Tip

Check the notice board outside any pharmacy or ask your hotel for the 'Farmacia di turno' to find out which location is open after-hours or on Sundays.
