Source and mouth of the Moësa

The Moësa is a 46 km long left tributary of the Ticino in the cantons of Graubünden and Ticino .

It rises at the San Bernardino Pass at Laghetto Moesola above the village of San Bernardino , where it joins the Ri de Fontanalba , which flows down from the Val Vignun . To the south of the village, the Moësa flows through the Lago d'Isola reservoir , then the remaining water flows through the Misox towards Roveredo , where the Calancasca and Traversagna flow into. For a large part of this section, the A13 motorway runs along the Moësa.

In Arbedo-Castione in Ticino the Moësa flows into the Ticino. The Moësa is popular for kayaking tours .

In its upper reaches, above the village of San Bernardino, the Moësa was spanned between approx. 1820 and 1869 by the 30 meter high Vittorio Emanuele bridge.
