The Dora Riparia (Italian: [ˈdɔːra riˈpaːrja]; Piedmontese: Dòira Rivaira; French: Doire Ripaire or Doire; Latin: Duria minor) is an alpine river, a left-bank tributary of the Po. It is 125 kilometres long (of which 5 km is in France), with a 1,231 square kilometres drainage basin. It originates in the Cottian Alps, close to the Col de Montgenèvre in France, where it is called the Piccola Dora. Its name becomes the Dora Riparia after the confluence with the Ripa in the Argentera Valley and the Thuras de Bousson close to Cesana.
