Tour du Mont Blanc emergency & health guide: hospitals, mountain rescue and 112
The nearest hospital with a 24/7 emergency department for each of the 11 stages, mountain-rescue numbers for France, Italy and Switzerland, and pharmacies, ATMs and bus stops along the trail.
In an emergency call 112. It works in all three countries and on any phone; in Switzerland 144 also reaches the ambulance and mountain rescue. Say which stage you are on, the nearest refuge or village and, if you can, your GPS coordinates.
