## Introduction
[Digital Glarus](https://digitalglarus.ch) is an umbrella project to
support the local community to profit from the digitalisation and to
support the digital community to profit from the amazing opportunities
in the [Canton of Glarus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glarus).
## What we are doing
In 2015 we opened the first coworking space of Glarus in
Schwanden, the **Digital Chalet**. It was not only the first coworking
space, it is also the first building that was equipped with a direct
fiber line, initially giving access to a 1 Gbit/s line.
Two days after opening, the first offsite happened. Our goal in 2015
was already to give people the opportunity to stay in a pretty place
and still be connected to a big city like Zurich.
Since we opened in 2015, we welcomed many students (usually from
the [university of Zurich](https://www.uzh.ch/)
or [ETH Zurich](https://ethz.ch)) from a lot of different countries
(Canada, Scotland, Greece, Germany, Slovakia, ...) in the Digital
Chalet.
We also organise [various
meetups](https://www.meetup.com/Digital-Glarus-Business-Technology/)
with technical and business topics.
Due to the Digital Chalet getting crowded, we opened a new location
in 2019: the [Hacking Hotel](/u/projects/hacking-hotel). We plan to
turn the Hacking Hotel into a school and will offer first courses in
2020.
## How you can participate
If you are interested in joining us, you can contact us by mail (info
at digitalglarus.ch), [chat](https://chat.ungleich.ch) or even by
phone (+41 55 505 62 66).
It is possible to visit us for a day or two, or like many have, to
stay longer and even stay with us permanently.

[Glarus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glarus) and we love our
surrounding and the way of living here. We want to share this
spirit with you and this is why we opened up this hotel.
The hacking hotel is part of the [Digital
Glarus](/u/projects/digital-glarus) project.
