At the Courchevel 'Grandes Alpes Hotel', on the morning of the third day, the fire that suddenly broke out on the evening of September 1 has been extinguished. Workers, firefighters, and rescuers continued extinguishing the flames while evacuating guests and staff remained the top priority.

According to local rescue services, approximately 260 people have already been evacuated from the hotel and relocated to safe areas. Unfortunately, official statements note the absence of information regarding casualties.

Together with the hotel administration, the fire command, and civil defense services are providing weekly updates on the fire situation, evacuation procedures, and search operations for missing guests. The area remains cordoned off, and firefighting efforts continue actively.
