string(1724) "[THIS CONTENT IS AUTOMATICALLY TRANSLATED BY GOOGLE TRANSLATE] High above the Prättigau valley, where the sun only briefly kisses the valley floor and time seems to slow down, lies the small mountain village of Furna – a scattered settlement at 1,351 meters above sea level, surrounded by tranquil slopes, dense forests, and people who have believed in the power of simplicity for centuries. Furna was long without electricity – until 1968, when it became the last village in Graubünden to be connected. In the eyes of their neighbors, the inhabitants of Furna were considered backward – and yet they were the ones who repeatedly made history: here, in 1931, Greti Caprez-Roffler was elected as the first female pastor in Europe.
In this unique setting stands Chalet Riedji, a wooden house over 120 years old, dating back to the turn of the 20th century. It tells the story of a family who sought to harmonize preservation and progress. The goal was as ambitious as it was sensitive: the venerable old house was to be transformed into a 5-star holiday chalet, equipped with state-of-the-art technology – yet without losing its soul.
No new wiring was to be installed, no beams damaged, no walls opened up. Even the 1960s electrification stood as a silent witness to a time when technology was first conquering the mountain. Now, more than half a century later, the house was to be electrified again – this time intelligently.
So how do you digitally awaken a piece of history without destroying it? How do you transform a relic from the pioneering days of electricity into a prime example of modern automation – in a village that was once the last to receive power?"

string(1778) "[THIS CONTENT IS AUTOMATICALLY TRANSLATED BY GOOGLE TRANSLATE] With Loxone, a new chapter began in the chalet's history – and, in a way, in Furna's history as well. Where the first light bulbs once illuminated the house, invisible intelligence now controls light, heat, water, and overall well-being.
Over 150 Loxone Air devices were precisely placed between old wooden beams, under wainscoting, and behind historic walls. No visible cables, no modern interventions – just a system that works in the background, noticeably simplifying the lives of its guests.
The lighting follows the course of the day, the heating reacts to the guests, and the sauna welcomes them warm after a ski tour. Even the hot tub in the garden, which can be used year-round, is monitored by Loxone – protected from freezing in winter and kept at a comfortable temperature in summer. Sensors report the fill levels of the private spring and the heating oil tank, warn of irregularities, and optimize energy consumption.
The lighting follows the course of the day, the heating system reacts to the guests, and the sauna welcomes them warm after a ski tour. With the gentle power of the Loxone system, past and future merge: Where once the first power lines caused astonishment, today the intelligence of a digital nervous system flows through the house – silently, precisely, and sustainably.
Chalet Riedji thus stands as a symbol of Furna's transformation: from the last village with electricity to the first with true smart home automation at an alpine altitude. A place where history, technology, and nature form a harmonious alliance – and where the light, which once arrived so late, now shines brighter than ever before."
