All areas described in this guide are well served by hospitals with emergency departments (detailed in their respective chapters). Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia offer excellent standards of healthcare.

UK residents should apply for a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which gives the holder a reciprocal right to healthcare when visiting countries of the European Economic Area and Switzerland. However, this does not mean that health care abroad is free. The expected fees are detailed in the table below (travel insurance can help offset some of these costs). This information is subject to change, and updates can be found at www.travelinsuranceguide.org.uk.
