The incident at the La Léchère hotel

In the early hours of last Thursday, a foul odor began to spread throughout the hotel. Guests and hotel staff have complained of headaches, nausea and dizziness. In total, four people had to be hospitalized, according to local health respondents.

The source of the smell

The source of the rotten fish smell remains a mystery to be solved. The hotel's infrastructure was checked and no gas leaks or other anomalies were detected. At the moment, the main hypothesis is that it could be residue from cleaning products or rotten food in an inaccessible place.

The hotel remains closed as investigators work to locate the cause of the odor. All guests have been relocated to nearby local hotels. Those hospitalized are recovering and should be allowed to return home in the coming days.
