Many feared dead in Switzerland’s New Year’s party fire

 

Several people have been killed and others injured after a fire broke out at a New Year’s party at an Alpine ski resort in southern Switzerland.

The spokesperson for the Valais police, Gaetan Lathion, confirmed the sad incident.

“This morning, January 1, 2026, a fire broke out around 1:30 a.m. at Le Constellation lounge bar in Crans-Montana in the canton of Valais.

“There are several injuries and several fatalities,” he said.

The police spokesman, however, did not give an exact figure for those killed and injured, or further details on the cause of the fire, in an area known for high-end holiday resorts.

He stated that a press conference will be held with police and the canton’s public prosecutor at around 10 a.m. (4 a.m. ET).
