Swiss President: The fire at a bar in a ski resort is the worst tragedy in the country's history
On January 1, 2026, Geneva time, Swiss President Guy Parmelin said at a press conference:
This is an unprecedented terrifying tragedy. The fire that occurred last night at a bar in the Crans-Montana resort area is one of the worst tragedies in Swiss history. I have held meetings with leaders of neighboring countries including France and Italy, and authorities have established a crisis center to coordinate.
Guy Parmelin emphasized:
Naturally, we have not ruled out the possibility that foreign citizens may be victims, as this resort is a popular international destination. We hope that countries will assist in treating the victims of this tragedy. Therefore, France has received some patients.
