The Sports Minister arrived in Crans-Montana at around 9.30 am. He was accompanied by his daughter, the Valais State Councillor Christophe Darbellay and the President of the National Council Pierre-André Page.
The delegation first met young skiers from the region before heading to the memorial. The politicians laid a wreath of flowers there and signed the book of condolence. The memorial, which is now located near the St-Christophe chapel, has received several hundred messages of condolence since the events of January 1.
President Guy Parmelin and Federal Councillor Beat Jans also visited the Valais resort in the days following the tragedy.
