Prättigau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prättigau Valley, in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, is home to the world famous ski resorts of Davos and Klosters. At its heart is the Landquart river. The valley extends upwards from Landquart, a key transport terminal just north of Chur, the capital of Graubunden. It is a popular tourist destination for both winter and summer activities, including downhill and cross country skiing, tobogganing and hiking. Traditionally, towns in the Prättigau were reliant on the lumber industry, although the income from tourism has largely replaced that.
