The
Prättigau is a geographical region in the canton of
Grisons 
,
Switzerland 
. It consists of the main valley of the river Landquart and the valleys of its side-rivers and creeks. Landquart River, which drains into the
Alpine Rhine 
in the town of the same name, is on its upper end home to the ski resorts of
Klosters 
.
Landquart is a village with a railway junction on the flat floor valley of the Alpine Rhine just north of
Chur 
, the capital of the Grisons.
The Prättigau is a 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.
