[edit] Economy
[edit] Tourism
In tourist centers people also speak some English. The religion is Roman Catholic.
The village lives of tourism (hiking, mountain climbing, mountain biking) and agriculture. There is no ski tourism, but shuttle buses transport in winter tourists to the nearby ski resorts such as Alta Badia. There are more guests in winter than in summer.
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 the Gran Ega river in Pederoa is a handicraft and industrial zone (shoes, textiles).
La Val (Wengen) borders the following municipalities: Badia, Mareo and San Martin de Tor.
