Heat illness is a condition that is sometimes seen in those undertaking physical activities. This case report focuses on a female hiker who developed heat stroke during a trek in the Dachstein region of Upper Austria. The patient's presentation was initially unclear and could only be confirmed by the use of a thermometer. This had a significant impact on the medical decision-making process during a complex rescue operation.
