A medical emergency?
The resort of La Grave has the privilege of having a health center and also doctors in the surrounding villages (2 Alpes, Bourg-d'Oisans, Vallée de Serre-Chevalier & Briançon with a hospital)
In case of emergency or absence at the weekend, there is a telephone number which is indicated in the welcome booklet of your accommodation
For medication?
Our Canton does not have a Pharmacy but the doctors in the Canton are "propharmacists". This means that the doctor's office has its own pharmacy and is supplied by the daily service of the CERP like a real pharmacy.
Otherwise the pharmacies are on the main road (2 in Bourg-d'Oisans, 1 in Les 2 Alpes and 1 in Monnetier les bains & much more when approaching Briançon).
In case of serious illness?
In case of a life-threatening emergency, the firemen (La Grave fire station), can dispatch the helicopter in order to be transported either to the Grenoble University Hospital (the most frequent) or to Briançon depending on the symptoms.
A " Drop Zone "for helicopter landing is located in La Grave ( 300 meters from the establishment below), for high mountain rescue.
The population of the canton of La Grave benefitede of this emergency transport service which is sometimes very useful!
