Crans-Montana – 28.05.2026: After the tragic fire at the Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, which claimed 41 lives and injured another 115 during the night of December 31, 2025, to January 1, 2026, survivors and relatives have united in the association “Revi Crans-Montana.” This organization aims to provide long-term support to the victims and to represent their interests in a coordinated manner.
“Revi Crans-Montana” was founded by French victims but is open to all interested individuals regardless of nationality. The deputy chairman of the association emphasized that the doors are open to new members from various countries.
The creation of this association comes against the backdrop of existing support from other organizations. For example, on January 6, 2026, the nonprofit organization “Swisshearts” was established to provide financial assistance to families of the victims residing in Switzerland. “Swisshearts” focuses on direct financial support for families whose children died or were hospitalized due to the incident.
In addition, the French victim aid organization “France Victimes” has offered its support. It was engaged by the Paris Prosecutor’s Office for collective accidents to assist the victims and their families. By the end of January 2026, 74 calls had been received through the emergency number 116 006, and 22 victim aid associations nationwide were mobilized to provide support on site.
Despite existing aid programs, the founders of “Revi Crans-Montana” emphasize the necessity of establishing an autonomous collective organization that addresses the specific needs of the victims. They plan to offer long-term support that goes beyond initial assistance and helps the victims cope with the physical and psychological consequences of the tragedy.
The association has already started fundraising and plans to hold a series of events and campaigns in the coming months to raise awareness of the victims’ needs and to mobilize additional support. Also, “Revi Crans-Montana” intends to collaborate closely with relevant authorities and other aid organizations to ensure coordinated and effective assistance.
The creation of “Revi Crans-Montana” underlines the victims’ desire to share their experiences, support one another, and collectively advocate for their rights and needs. At a time when the role of community is crucial for healing and recovery, this association offers a space for solidarity 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 at the center of attention and receive appropriate response.
