According to the latest figures, local authorities report that around 40 people lost their lives and dozens more were injured at the Le Constellation bar, which was engulfed in flames at around 1:30 a.m. on New Year's Day.
A witness has spoken to Sky News as he shows horrific footage from the devastating explosion at a ski resort in southern Switzerland.
"A lot of people were screaming, it was horrible," said Leah Boleto.
The resident says most people inside the bar tried to escape through the main exit, with New Year's Eve revellers and staff leaving immediately.
"People were screaming, I saw a lot of people on the floor. I think some were dead after someone put a jacket in someone's face," he added.
Rapp describes hearing the voices of those on the floor calling for medical help and says he saw people "without hair because they were burning."
Asked what demographic group of people was at Le Constellation, he says: "Everyone in the world comes here. A lot from England, some from all over Switzerland."
"It's terrible. There were people there aged 16 to 18," the witness concludes.
CNN reports that according to two witnesses, the deadly fire in Crans-Montana was caused by fireworks placed in champagne bottles.
"There were waitresses holding champagne bottles with fireworks on them and they took them close to the ceiling, which caused it to catch fire," said a witness.
"As soon as the ceiling caught fire, within about ten seconds the whole nightclub was engulfed in flames. We all ran outside screaming and when we came back, there were flames," another witness said.
