In Switzerland, luxury bunkers are being built for the ultra-rich

Construction has begun on the Brünig Mega Safe, an elite underground complex in the Swiss Brünig massif for the ultra-wealthy. The facility, set to be laid in early 2026, will serve as a refuge in case of global catastrophes. A network of 20 cave compartments will extend more than 100 meters deep. Entry tickets start at 535,000 euros. Owners can store cars, wines, gold, or set up living quarters. Access will be through multi-level checkpoints, and the Brünig Institute will prepare residents for emergencies. The first units will be delivered within two years.

In the Swiss Brünig massif, near the village of Lungern, construction has begun on the private underground complex Brünig Mega Safe. The facility, laid in early 2026, is intended for the ultra-wealthy as a refuge in case of global catastrophes—from nuclear conflicts to economic upheavals. Initially, the plan was to create only a protected storage facility in the limestone rock, but due to growing instability, the concept was expanded into a self-sufficient residential complex. A network of 20 isolated cave compartments will go more than 100 meters underground. Entry tickets start at 535,000 euros. Owners can adapt modular blocks to their needs—from housing collector cars, rare wines, and gold bars to living rooms, offices, and meeting halls. Access will be through a multi-level checkpoint system, and a special institute, the Brünig Institute, will train residents for emergencies. The first units are expected to be delivered within two years. The project represents a private reimagining of the Swiss Cold War tradition, when the mountainous terrain was heavily fortified with bunkers, but now in an ultra-premium format.
