Crans-Montana – May 28, 2026: After the tragic fire at Bar Le Constellation in Crans-Montana that occurred from the night of December 31, 2025, to the early morning of January 1, 2026, resulting in 41 deaths and 115 injuries, survivors and bereaved families have formed the “Revi Crans-Montana” association. This organization aims to provide long-term support to the victims and to unite and represent their interests.
“Revi Crans-Montana” was founded by French victims but is open to all victims regardless of nationality. The association’s vice president emphasized that the door is open for additional members from various national backgrounds.
The establishment of this association was carried out in coordination with several existing support organizations. For example, the non-profit organization “Swisshearts” was launched on January 6, 2026, to provide financial support to the families of victims residing in Switzerland. “Swisshearts” focuses on direct monetary assistance to families who lost children or received hospital treatment due to the incident.
Additionally, the French victim support organization “France Victimes” has also offered assistance. This organization was entrusted by the Paris Prosecutor’s Police Unit to support victims and families of collective accidents. By the end of January 2026, 74 calls were received through the emergency number 116 006, and 22 victim support groups nationwide were mobilized for on-site assistance.
Despite existing support, the founders of “Revi Crans-Montana” emphasize the need for an independent collective organization that meets the specific needs of the victims. They plan to provide long-term support that goes beyond initial assistance to help victims overcome physical and psychological aftereffects.
The association has already begun fundraising and plans to conduct various events and campaigns over the coming months to raise awareness of the victims’ needs and to generate additional support. Furthermore, “Revi Crans-Montana” intends to work closely with the relevant authorities and other support agencies to ensure coordinated and effective assistance.
The founding of “Revi Crans-Montana” demonstrates the victims’ willingness to share their experiences, support each other, and collectively raise their voices for their rights and demands. At a time when the community plays a crucial role in healing and rebuilding, this association provides a space for solidarity and collective action.
In the coming months, the development and activities of “Revi Crans-Montana” will be closely monitored to ensure the victims’ needs remain central and are appropriately addressed.
