In this particular trip we wanted to highlight the various Dora that run through the valleys of the Valle d'Aosta and marked with this specific place name.
This part is devolved to the torrents of orographic and hydrographic bank of the South or the right of the Dora Baltea; a subsequent work will be dedicated to the opposite or Northern aimed at Buthiers Torrents and other major rivers that run through the Valley in East above the town of Pont Saint Martin, at the end of the Aosta Valley Region, but only welding together all that Dore starting to North from the two Ferret Hills, just to East of Mont Dolent (3819m), descend to form such important tributaries to Dora Baltea. In fact at the end of the Veny Valley takes early that area which is the orographic bank and right bank or Southern of the Valley of Aosta. Not starting from the Col de la Seigne (2514m) below the Aiguilles des Glaciers and Trélatête in Lex Blanche Vallon, and from Mont Blanc to the Southern end act at the end of Veny Valley takes early that area which is the orographic bank and right bank or South of the Valley of Aosta. This leaves the border with France at the end of the Rhêmes Valley, where this continues in France with the Valley of the Isère River. We will then have a "Dore" succession from Northwest to Southeast bordering the Valley of Champorcher that we can summarize, although the last, or the stream that descends from the Valley of Cogne, is not exactly a Dora but a "Big Water" or Grand'Eyvia. But, you know, those inhabitants of Cogne are always "special".

In codesto particolare viaggio abbiamo voluto evidenziare le varie Dore che percorrono le vallate della Valle d'Aosta e che riportano questo specifico nominativo.
Questa parte é devoluta ai torrenti della sponda orografica ed idrografica Meridionale o di destra della Dora Baltea; un successivo lavoro sarà dedicato all'opposta o Settentrionale rivolta ai Buthiers ed ad altri importanti torrenti che percorrono la Valle di Aosta. Non più partendo dal Col de la Seigne e dal Monte Bianco fino alle estremità Orientali sopra l'abitato di Pont Saint Martin, al termine della Regione Valle di Aosta, bensì esclusivamente conglobando tutte le Dore che iniziando a Nord dai Colli di Ferret, subito ad Oriente del Mont Dolent (3819m), scendono a formare quali importanti affluenti la Dora Baltea. Infatti al termine della Valle Vény prende inizio quel settore che costituisce la sponda orografica ed idrografica destra o Meridionale della Valle di Aosta. Questa abbandona il confine con la Francia al termine della Valle di Rhêmes, dove questa continua in territorio francese con la Valle del Fiume Isère. Avremo così una successione di Dore che da Nordovest verso Sudest al confine con la Valle di Champorcher che possiamo così riassumere, anche se l'ultima, ovvero il torrente che scende dalla Valle di Cogne, non é propriamente una Dora bensì una "Grande Acqua". Ma, si sà, quelli di Cogne sono sempre "particolari".

In turn all these Dore are fed by smaller streams that run through the secondary valleys and generally vertical in respect to the main or bottom into floor valley.
How the Torrent of Fréboudze or Freboudgie in Val Ferret, the Miage and Frêney in Val Veni, the Torrent de Verney from the Little Saint Bernard, the Nivolé or Nivolet in Valsavara or the Grauson, Urtier in Cogne Valley. But they are only examples, because we could mention hundreds since every valley, that, logically, it has at least one for the waters drain. Just as we can not forget the lakes, true containment basins of the same, we can always list from West to East with Combal, Miage in Val Veni, Verney, Rutor or Ruitor, Ussellettes in La Thuile, Arpy and the superior of Pietra Rossa in the homonym adjacent basin above Morgex Pré St. Didier Communes, Tsatalèina, Granta Parei just above Rhêmes Notre Dame, Nivolé in the homonym tableland over Valsavarenche and to Val di Cogne with very numerous Garin, 4 Lussert, Corona, 3 Doreire, Money, 2 Pontonnet, Ponton, Acque Rosse, Bardoney and finally the spectacular Lauson, right front to the whole of the Gran Paradiso Chain. All of these courses or water bodies or basins would form the Dora Baltea that, being born at the foot of the South side of Mont Blanc at the confluence of the two Dore Ferret and Veni, flowing toward the wide Po Valley, along with sister Dora Riparia, to the Adriatic Sea, together, from Monviso and passing through Turin, reaching over most powerful of the Po, or main river of Italy.

A loro volta tutte queste Dore sono alimentate da più piccoli torrenti percorrenti le vallate secondarie ed in genere verticali rispetto a quella principale o di fondo. Come il Torrente di Fréboudze o Freboudgie in Val Ferret, il Miage e Frêney in Val Veni, il Torrent de Verney dal Piccolo San Bernardo, del Nivolé o Nivolet in Valsavara oppure il Grauson e l'Urtier in Val di Cogne. Ma son soltanto esempi, perché potremmo citarne a centinaia poiché ogni valloncello, logicamente ne possiede almeno uno per lo scolo dell'acque. Così come non possiamo dimenticare i laghi, veri bacini di contenimento delle medesime, che possiamo elencare sempre da Ovest verso Est con Combal e Miage in Val Veni, Verney, Rutor o Ruitor ed Ussellettes a La Thuile, Arpy ed il superiore di Pietra Rossa nell'adiacente omonimo bacino al di sopra dei comuni di Morgex e Pré Saint Didier, Tsatalèina e Granta Parei a Rhêmes, Nivolé in Valsavarenche ed in Val di Cogne i numerosissimi di Garin, 4 di Lussert, Corona, 3 di Doreire, Money, 2 di Pontonnet e Ponton, Acque Rosse, Bardoney ed infine lo spettacolare del Lauson, proprio frontalmente all'intera Catena del Gran Paradiso. Tutti questi corsi o bacini acquiferi concorrono a formare il corso della Dora Baltea che, nascendo ai piedi del versante Meridionale del Monte Bianco alla confluenza delle Dore di Ferret e Veni, scorre verso l'estesa Pianura Padana sin al Mare Adriatico, insieme, dal Monviso e passando attraverso Torino, alla gemella Dora Riparia, raggiungendo il corso più potente del Po, o fiume principale d'Italia.
