The Constellation fire in Crans-Montana on New Year's Eve 2026 claimed 40 lives and injuring 116, many with severe burns. We followed the family of Mathieu, a 27-year-old barman at the Constellation, whose staff quarters were just above the bar. Xavier, whose son Jérémie is receiving treatment at a severe burns unit in Lyon. Leila, whose two daughters Farah and Meissa have been seriously injured. And Laeticia, a young girl who miraculously escaped the tragedy unscathed. These are just a few of the families whose lives were turned upside down by the disaster. All of them recount the unfolding of events, the agony of waiting, the uncertainty and anguish about the irreversible physical and psychological scars left in the wake of the tragedy. For all of them, life came to a halt that New Year's Eve. Today, as the legal battle is just getting started, the families' demand for justice is overwhelming. But even more important to them is the uphill battle of recovery and rebuilding, so they can all let life rise from the ashes.
