Doctor from Hinterglemm

Because of the World Cup: “So far it’s been minor things!”

Hinterglemm's village doctor Reinhard Lanzinger is a medical jack-of-all-trades. Although the village is overcrowded during the World Ski Championships, his practice in the town center is not. Nevertheless, the "mountain doctor" never gets bored.

Thousands of ski fans traveled to Saalbach in the first week of the World Championships, and thousands more are expected in the second. Peak season for the local doctor? Not at all, says Reinhard Lanzinger. The doctor in the heart of Hinterglemm was already expecting fewer patients before the World Championships.
