The blaze at a crowded bar at Crans-Montana spread after the ceiling caught alight. Witnesses said a sparkler in a champagne bottle may have ignited it and that people were smashing windows to escape.
Police said more than 100 people were in the building in the resort town, which is popular with tourists.
