Galtuer

Before the arrival of the Walsers at the beginning of the 14th century, the cliffs and high valleys around Galtuer were cultural landscape. The Walsers settled here in the periodically flooded valley floor. For centuries, there were continuous showdowns between the farmers from Engadin and the newcomers. Traces of these showdowns can still be seen on the mountain fields in Partenen.
