The system stretches from the borders of Savoy and Valais into the upper basin of the Dora Baltea and into the head-valleys of the Orco, of the northern Stura, and of the Dora Riparia.

At OuLx (sources of the Dora Riparia), which seems, however, to have a rather mixed dialect, there also occurs the important Franco-Provencal phenomenon of the surd interdental (English th in thief) instead of the surd sibilant (for example ithi = Fr.

Attraversata la Dora nel suo punto più stretto, usufruendo del ponte tibetano, si prosegue ancora nel medesimo senso della corrente lungo la sponda destra idrografica del fiume, attraverso un sentiero a tratti attrezzato con cavo di sicurezza, fino al bivio della mulattiera che risale sul versante fino a Gravere.
Proseguendo oltre il bivio, il sentiero si abbassa ancora fino a toccare in un breve tratto l’ alveo della Dora, ancora sentiero facile fino al secondo ponte tibetano.

 ALBANO, Benedict, Memoir on the construction of the stone bridge erected over the Dora Riparia, at Turin.
The Dora bridge in Turin was remarkable for the flatness of its single arch and for its span of 147ft.
Its look of lightness and elegance was enhanced by the use of "cornes de vache", the chamfering of the edges of the arches to ease the passage of floods, something to which the Dora River was prone.
The structure was designed and built by Mosca, architect and engineer to the King of Sardinia, and this memoir is the major source of information on it, describing the reasons behind the choice of form and method of construction.
