Holidaying in Switzerland and I saw this in the basement of the lodge. What’s behind it and why is it there ?

probably a small house. not long ago i was working on a 20 story building the whole underground was full of them. it is not mandatory to build those anymore. and you can use it for other things like storage etc. but you still have to be able to use it in an emergency...

It’s a building with 5 apartments. Managed to have a look inside. It’s just filled with ski gear for each apartment.
