In tourist centers people also speak someEnglish.The religion isRoman Catholic.
Tourism (hiking, mountain climbing,mountain biking) is a mainstay of the local economy as is agriculture. There is no locally-centered ski tourism, but in winter shuttle buses transport tourists to the nearby ski resorts such asAlta Badia.Tourism usually peaks in the winter months due to the comunes' location and attractions.
Whereas in earlier decades the agricultural economy was, to a large degree, self-sufficient, it has become, meanwhile, more of a monoculture based on cattle.
Down the valley at theGran Egariver in Pederoa is a handicraft and industrial zone (shoes, textiles).
La Val (Wengen) borders the following municipalities:Badia,MareoandSan Martin de Tor.
