2 days agoNo safety inspections at site of Swiss bar fire for past five years, mayor says
Authorities in Crans-Montana have said the bar that caught fire in the Swiss ski resort on New Year's Eve, killing 40 mainly young partygoers and injuring more than 100, had not been inspected by safety officers for the past five years. Periodic inspections were not conducted between 2020 and 2025. We bitterly regret this, the mayor of the town, Nicolas Feraud, told a press conference in the town on Tuesday, five days after the disaster at Le Constellation bar.
