Ski enthusiasts will arrive in Adelboden as early as next weekend. On Monday, the town's mayor Willy Schranz told Swiss public radio SRF that, with the tragedy in Crans-Montana still on its mind, the municipality is called upon to take action and will use the next few days to check the village premises.

“We will check that everything is in order, so that nothing similar can happen,” said Schranz. The municipality's task is to avoid mistakes, raise awareness among the bar owners and discuss with them whether they have done everything possible to ensure the safety of guests.
