title: Hacking Villa Diesbach --- subtitle: A space for creative minds in the heart of Switzerland --- image: /u/image/cards/hackingvilla.jpg --- content1_text: ## TL;DR The Hacking Villa was built in 1874. It is located in Diesbach and welcomes writers, designers, architects, geeks, hackers from all over the world. If you want to visit or stay with us, just get in touch with us at **hackingvilla at ungleich.ch**. ## A Hacking Villa? We are located in the heart of the pretty mountain valley [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 villa to the public. The hacking villa is part of the [Digital Glarus](/u/projects/digital-glarus) project. ## What is there? The Hacking Villa has 13 rooms in total with 9 rooms open for staying. It is located next to a pretty waterfall, a cross-country skiing area, some horses and a lot of cows. And more importantly: a direct 10 GBit/s network connection to the next Data Center, the [Data Center Light](/u/projects/data-center-light). You can have a sneak preview of how it looks inside on the [Hacking and Living in Villa Diesbach page](https://hack.digitalglarus.ch/hacking-and-living-in-hotel-diesbach.html). ## What to do in the Hacking Villa? We are here to enjoy our life while we work the way we like to work. However, you are free to do what you like - for instance: * enjoy the fast Internet * have a walk in the valley * [learn in professional courses](/u/projects/education) * hike up in the nearby mountains * learn horse riding * cook together * go for a swim or sauna nearby in [Braunwald](https://www.braunwald.ch/) * work concentrated ## How to get there?
