Buochs Army Airfield. Former fighter/interceptor base but deactivated, current "sleeping airbase" and open for civil and sport aviation.
In time of crisis the military installations may be made operational within 2 -3 weeks.
Nice detail: follow the taxiway "dead ends" at the northside of the base.
They seem to end at the mountain ridge but there are aircraft shelter facilities inside the ridge!
Video about what's behind the dead ends in the ridge:
