Crans-Montana – May 28, 2026: Following the fatal fire at the Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana on the night of December 31, 2025, to the early hours of January 1, 2026, which caused 41 deaths and 115 injuries, survivors and their relatives have jointly founded the “Revi Crans-Montana” association. The organization aims to provide long-term support for the victims and to represent their interests collectively.
“Revi Crans-Montana” was initiated by French victims but is open to all affected individuals, regardless of their nationality. The association’s vice president emphasized that more members from different countries are welcome to join the organization.
The founding of this association comes against the backdrop of assistance already provided by other organizations. For example, the non-profit organization “Swisshearts” was established on January 6, 2026, specifically to provide financial aid to the families of victims residing in Switzerland. “Swisshearts” focuses on supporting families who lost children in the incident or whose children require hospitalization.
Furthermore, the French victim assistance organization “France Victimes” has also provided support. This organization was commissioned by the collective accident department of the Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office to assist victims and their families. By the end of January 2026, 74 calls were received through the emergency hotline 116 006, and 22 victim assistance associations nationwide were mobilized to provide help at the disaster site.
Although these relief measures already exist, the founders of “Revi Crans-Montana” emphasize that establishing an independent collective organization remains essential to meet the special needs of the victims. They plan to offer long-term support beyond the initial aid to help the victims cope with the physical and psychological consequences of the event.
The association has begun fundraising and plans to hold various events and campaigns in the upcoming months to raise public awareness of the victims’ needs and mobilize more support. “Revi Crans-Montana” also aims to closely cooperate with relevant authorities and other aid organizations to ensure coordinated and efficient rescue efforts.
The founding of “Revi Crans-Montana” highlights the victims’ desire to share their experiences, support each other, and jointly uphold their rights and needs. At a time when community plays a key role in recovery and rebuilding, the association provides a platform for unity and collective action.
The development and activities of “Revi Crans-Montana” will be closely monitored in the coming months to ensure that the victims’ needs remain central and are properly addressed.
