The
Prättigau Valley, in the canton of
Graubünden (Grisons),
Switzerland, is home to the world famous ski resorts of
Klosters and neighbouring
Davos in the Landwasser Valley. At its heart is the river
Landquart. The valley extends upwards from
Landquart, a key transport terminal just north of
Chur, the capital of Grisons. It is a popular tourist destination for 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.
