Prättigau

The Prättigau (Romansch Val Partens or Portenz), extending northwest from Klosters is the narrow valley of the River Landquart. Although the neat little villages, situated among fruit orchards in the wider parts of the valley or on narrow terraces on the steeply sloping meadowland on the hillsides, have Romansch names dating from an earlier settlement they are inhabited by a German-speaking and mainly Protestant population.
