Dora Báltea is a river in northern
Italy. It is a
left-hand tributary of the
Po, and is about 160 km (99 mi) long. It originates by
Mont Blanc as the confluence of the Dora di Ferret, fed by the Pré de Bar Glacier in Val Ferret, and the Dora di Veny, fed by the Miage Glacier in Val Veny.As it crosses the
Aosta Valley, the Dora Baltea flows through the city of
Aosta (where the Buthier runs into it) and then
Saint-Vincent. After it enters
Piedmont, it passes through the city of
Ivrea and a good part of
Canavese, reaching the Po close to
Chivasso.It is a popular place for whitewater
rafting and
kayaking. Early in the summer, in May and June, the rivers are usually high with snow melt from the mountains. During July, August and September the water levels are usually lower and the temperature warmer.
