Swiss Bar Fire Death Toll Climbs to 41

Crans-Montana, Switzerland - The death toll from a New Year's Eve fire at Le Constellation bar in the Swiss alpine resort of Crans-Montana rose to 41, Euronews reported on February 1, 2026. An 18-year-old who was injured in the blaze died, increasing the number of fatalities. The fire, which occurred in the early hours of January 1, 2026, also left 116 people injured, many of whom were teenagers.

Prosecutors believe the fire was likely caused by sparklers igniting soundproof foam on the ceiling of the crowded bar, according to Euronews. Most of the victims were young, including teenagers as young as 14.

The incident occurred during New Year's Eve celebrations at the Le Constellation bar. The investigation is ongoing to determine the exact circumstances that led to the fire and to assess potential safety violations.
