Embassy of Switzerland in China

Switzerland is deeply shaken by the tragic fire on New Year's Day in Crans-Montana. In the wake of this tragedy, our thoughts are with the victims, their families and friends and with the medical doctors and staff who are working tirelessly.

We thank Chinese authorities for their messages of sympathy and solidarity. Switzerland is also grateful for the support and assistance provided by various governments in admitting injured persons to hospitals and establishing contact with victims' families abroad.

A digital condolence book is available here.
