Divided between Italy and France is Val Roja, through which the river of the same name runs for about sixty kilometres before flowing into the Mediterranean sea at Ventimiglia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transfer of Nice to France in 1860 interrupted the valley\u2019s territorial continuity, making it a border location where traditions and languages intermingle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the upper valley includes Tenda and Briga, further down Fontan, Saorge and Breil-sur-Roya can be found, all of which are now situated in France, continuing down towards the coast OLIVETTA SAN MICHELE, AIROLE and VENTIMIGLIA come into view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This overlapping of territories has intermixed the languages; the official languages are French and Italian, but they have been joined by a number of Ligurian Alpine dialects, all of which share a common root. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important transportation routes pass through the valley: the Colle di Tenda mountain pass links it with Limone Piemonte and the historic scenic railway line, treno delle meraviglie (train of wonders), connects Cuneo with Ventimiglia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the west, the valley forms part of the Parco Nazionale del Mercantour (Mercantour National Park).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
