In the snow-dusted street outside St Christopher's Church, hundreds joined a special Sunday Mass for the victims of the fire that tore through Le Constellation bar on New Year's Eve.
Many hugged each other, crying quietly, as they remembered the dozens killed and those still in hospital with severe burns, fighting for their lives.
During the service, several in the crowd fainted and fell to the ground, overcome.
Police say more than 20 of the dead have now been identified, although not named publicly. Their bodies are being returned to their families, some of whom had been holding on to the hope that their children might yet be found - injured but alive.
They're now receiving the worst possible news.
Ever since the fire, Laetitia Brodard had been posting pictures of her teenage son Arthur online and appealing for help to find him. On Sunday, she was at the memorial service, being comforted by friends.
He died that first day, Laetitia confirmed.
In an emotional statement on Facebook, she said that Arthur had gone to party in paradise.
The victims' bodies were so badly burned by the fire they are difficult to identify. Even some of those injured and in hospitals haven't been named yet - they remain unconscious and unrecognizable.
For the dead, forensics experts are having to use DNA samples and dental records, and for the families, the wait is agonizing.
The bar was packed full of young people that night, many of them just teenagers. The drinking age in Switzerland is 16.
Some survivors joined a silent procession from the church towards the bar itself. Above, in the stunningly beautiful Swiss Alps, cable cars went on sliding up the mountain carrying tourists to ski.
The site of the fire is still screened off behind white plastic sheets, but in front of it are heaps of flowers and soft toys at a shrine that continues to grow.
Among the bouquets are handwritten notes with names and photographs. The crowd burst into applause when a large group of firefighters and rescue workers in uniform reached the memorial and stood arm in arm, sobbing for those they couldn't save.
The local fire commander reported he and his colleagues are now a giant family, united by the tragedy they witnessed.
In light of the incident, a criminal investigation has been opened against the bar's owners, whom police suspect of negligence that led to the tragic fire. Investigators are examining footage showing the moment the fire ignited, as celebrations turned to panic when sparks ignited flammable materials in the bar.
As families come to terms with their loss, the community continues to mourn and demand justice in light of the tragic events.
