## 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.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||

 | 
			
		||||

		||||

 | 
			
		|||
[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
