Switzerland Nightclub Fire Death Toll Rises to 41

Swiss authorities confirm death toll from New Year nightclub fire rose to forty-one, with dozens injured and several victims still critical nationwide.

Swiss officials said the number of victims from the massive nightclub fire has climbed to 41 after another injured person died in hospital.

International media reported that 115 people were injured in total, with 37 still hospitalized, several of them in critical condition.

Emergency services rapidly responded after the blaze, using helicopters to transfer severely injured victims to specialized burn centers across Switzerland and other European countries.

Health authorities confirmed hospitals remain on high alert, with medical teams working around the clock to treat victims of the disaster.

The fire erupted shortly after midnight on January 1, 2026, during New Year celebrations inside the underground bar “Le Constellation” at the Crans-Montana ski resort, where thick smoke and fast-spreading flames trapped many guests.

Investigators believe the fire may have started when celebratory champagne bottles with sparklers ignited soundproof ceiling foam, raising fresh concerns about fire safety standards in crowded indoor entertainment venues.

Authorities continue their investigation while Switzerland mourns one of the deadliest fires in recent years, as attention now turns to accountability and future safety reforms.
