A month after the fire at the Constellation, some injured are still hospitalized and also suffer the psychological consequences of the tragedy. Rose, an 18-year-old Swiss woman, testified on TF1.

Sunday, February 1, 2026, it had been a month since the drama of Crans-Montana had taken place. The day before, an 18-year-old Swiss man died of his injuries, bringing the death toll to 41 and recalling that for the 115 wounded, the fight continues. Many of them have been severely burned, which requires a long hospitalization.

Rose, an 18-year-old Swiss woman, is also due to leave the hospital in Liège on Monday, February 2, 2026 after several skin grafts to treat her burns to the hands and face. “They took skin from my right thigh and put it on my hands,” she testified at the microphone of the 20H of TF1. She will have to continue to change her bandages regularly once she returns home. But for her and other survivors, the wounds are far from exclusively physical.

Families still in misunderstanding

Rose explains that he is awakened every night by nightmares: “The scenes are back. We hear people's screams again, we see the burns again. People were fainted, people who were being done heart massages. These are scenes that remain,” says the one who, no longer thinks they can “live normally.”

The pain is also always immense for those who remain. The Constellation of Crans-Montana was mainly frequented that evening by young people, especially minors whose parents are now devastated. Father of a 17-year-old teenager who died in the fire, Christophe explains to TF1 that he regularly returns to the ski resort. “It’s very important because I feel close to him. That’s where he left and he loved this station.” A month later, he still hasn’t really assimilated the horrible reality: “I still have his bowl of cereal that stayed where he was, in his room. For now, I don’t want to touch anything,” he said.

The families of the victims and their lawyers also regularly express their anger and misunderstanding since the tragedy. The first elements of the investigation point to poor fire risk management. The managers have been heard, but several areas of darkness remain, including the lack of mandatory administrative controls or the disappearance of video surveillance images.

What to remember:

• It has been a month since the fire at the Constellation in Crans-Montana took place.
• Some of the burns are still hospitalized and also face psychological consequences.
• The pain remains immense for the families of the disappeared, often young people.
