The healthcare system in Switzerland is based on several levels and is subject to a fee. It is important that you contact the right centre, otherwise you may incur high costs.
Here are your contacts - depending on the problem:
Pharmacy
Do you have a minor injury or impairment, e.g. insect bite, sore throat or cold? Do you need a medicine?
Contact your nearest pharmacy. The specialist staff will give you expert advice and dispense medicines if necessary. An emergency service is also guaranteed on Sundays and public holidays. Please note that additional costs may be incurred outside official opening hours (emergency fee).

Hospital
Are you in an acute emergency situation? The emergency departments of the regional hospitals offer optimum interdisciplinary emergency care around the clock:
- Interlaken Hospital: 24/7, +41 33 826 26 26
Tip: In a hospital emergency, the urgency of the case determines the treatment, not the arrival time. This can result in long waiting times. We therefore recommend that you consult the above-mentioned centres first if you have less serious concerns.
Emergency number 144
Are you in a life-threatening situation, e.g. severe chest pain or severe shortness of breath?
Call the emergency number 144.
The emergency number 144 should also be dialled for minor emergencies in Mürren - the emergency medical call centre will ensure that the right resources reach you
For the Swiss Air Rescue Rega, dial 1414.
During the emergency call, you will be supported by experts with safety advice or first aid instructions.
- Skigebiet Mürren Schilthorn +41 33 856 21 46
