After moving we were so impressed by the landscape and the +ability to finally work fully concentrated that we wanted to share +this experience with others. + +The idea of a "Digital Glarus was born. + +From 2014 to 2015 we looked at various locations and settled for an +19th century house in the pretty village of +[Schwanden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwanden,_Glarus). + +## The Digital Chalet + +Just two days after opening, the first group came for an offsite +work-weekend. Just soon after the first students moved into the +Digital Chalet. Something that many people we talked to doubted. + +Something that many locals did not see is that the canton of Glarus is +really, really, pretty. Compared to a lot of places in the world. And +it is also very stable. And it can easily be reached by train, even +without ever changing from Zurich. + +The longer the Digital Chalet was open, the more we heard from people +who really love staying here and how they can relax much better than +in a city. + +## ...leads to Digital Glarus + +After getting so much positive feedback, we decided to grow the +project, to make the location more known. For that reason we created +the project "[Digital Glarus](/u/projects/digital-glarus)" with the +objective to allow people from outside of Glarus to enjoy this place. + + +## The first... + +The Digital Chalet is the first of many things. It is +the first coworking space of Glarus - every! It is also the first +location of [Digital Glarus](/u/projects/digital-glarus). +It is probably also the first 19th century +house in the canton with a 10Gbit/s+ network connection (fiber can do +more, but we have "only" 10 Gbit/s transceivers installed). + +It is also the place in which we first started with the +[Data Center Light](/u/projects/data-center-light) prototype. + +It is probably also the first house in the canton to feature +a LoRaWAN gateway. + +We are not sure if it is the first house that can be +opened via mobile phone, but it certainly isn't the last. + +## Innovating in Digital Glarus + +As you can see, we are doing quite a lot of new things here in Digital +Glarus. If you want to relax, hack or work somewhere else or if you +are a student in Zurich, feel free to join us!
