Crans-Montana, Switzerland: New Year’s celebrations turned into a nightmare in the Swiss Alps early this morning. A powerful explosion rocked the popular “Le Constellation” bar in the luxury ski resort town of Crans-Montana, killing several people and injuring dozens more.

The blast occurred at 01:30 local time (00:30 GMT), just as nearly 100 revelers were celebrating the arrival of 2026. What was supposed to be a night of joy has now left a community in shock, with police scrambling to determine the cause.

The Blast: “Like a Bomb Went Off”

According to the Valais Cantonal Police, the explosion was followed immediately by a massive fire that engulfed the venue.

Viral video footage circulating on social media shows thick black smoke billowing from the bar, with people screaming and running for safety in the snow. One witness described the scene: “The music stopped and then there was a deafening boom. It felt like a bomb went off.”
