History
editThe Prättigau 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.
The historical American Van Leer family claims lineage from this area through Swiss archives.[3][4]
