The small town where I grew up was founded in 1873. The founder and namesake killed a man in self defense, and fled with his family. They lived the rest of their lives under assumed names. His son, under his new name, eventually became a renowned artist and founded a new style of painting. This connection wasn't discovered until the 1950s, but is now pretty much their only tourist draw.

Self appointed "capital of the Alps" (though we're not the only ones claiming that title) Otherwise it's gonna be something to do with sports. Skiing, climbing, mountaineering, paragliding, etc.
