Working where others go on holiday – that sounds like a dream. But with increasing digitalisation and flexible working models, this dream is becoming reality for many people. More and more employees, self-employed people and creative minds work independently of location – all they need is a laptop, a stable internet connection and a suitable workspace.
This is exactly where the coworking space comes in. But what exactly is behind this term? What is a coworking space, who is it for and why is this way of working becoming ever more popular? In this article we explain everything you need to know – clearly and simply.
What does coworking actually mean?
The word “coworking” means something like “working together”. It is not about everyone working on a shared project, but about different people working in one place – each on their own projects or tasks. So you share the space, the internet, perhaps even a coffee machine, but not necessarily the company or the work.
A coworking space is therefore a shared workspace. There, people can flexibly rent a workspace – for a day, a week or even several months.
What does a coworking space look like?
A coworking space can look very different – from a sleek open-plan office in the city to a cosy mountain hut with Wi-Fi. But the basic idea is always the same: people who work independently of each other come together in an open space. A coworking space typically offers:
-
Workstations with desk and chair
-
Fast Wi-Fi
-
Printer, scanner, copier
-
Meeting rooms
-
Coffee and tea kitchen
Some coworking spaces also offer events, talks or shared lunches. This creates a place where work and community meet.
Who is a coworking space suitable for?
A coworking space is ideal for many different people:
-
Self-employed people and freelancers who do not have their own office.
-
Digital nomads who work from anywhere and want to discover new places along the way.
-
Creative minds who want to be inspired.
-
Start-ups or small teams that do not yet have their own office.
-
Holidaymakers who want to work a few hours a day but still enjoy nature.
-
Commuters who do not want to travel to the office every day and are looking for a flexible workspace nearby.

What are the benefits of coworking?
Coworking offers many benefits:
1. Flexibility
You decide when and for how long you use the workspace. There are no long rental contracts or obligations.
2. Community
You are not alone. In a coworking space you meet people with similar interests, can exchange ideas, learn from each other or simply take a coffee break together.
3. Productivity
A clear workspace helps many people to concentrate better – especially if there are too many distractions at home.
4. Infrastructure
Strong Wi-Fi, quiet workstations and good equipment – you get all of this without having to invest yourself.
5. Network
You meet new people, get new ideas and sometimes even professional opportunities arise.
Conclusion: coworking is more than just a desk
A coworking space is much more than an office for a limited time. It is a place where work, freedom and community come together. Especially in beautiful regions such as Schladming-Dachstein, coworking offers the perfect mix of nature, relaxation and productivity.
So the next time you are in the region – whether on holiday, passing through or for a project – why not try coworking? Who knows? Perhaps you will find not only a place to work here, but also new contacts, ideas and inspiration.
