The Ri de Fontanalba ( Lombard for "river of the white source"; originally from Latin) is a mountain stream about 7 kilometers long above the village of San Bernardino in the municipality of Mesocco in the canton of Graubünden .
The source area of the brook lies in the Val Vignun below the Strec de Vignun between the Piz Uccello and the Piz Vignun at an altitude of around 2300 m. ü. The water collects in the partly flat, swampy valley floor and flows southwest towards San Bernardino. In the forest area above the village, the brook flows through a gorge and forms a waterfall.
In San Bernardino it takes the Ri di Pescion on the right and unites shortly afterwards at an altitude of 1605 m. ü. M. with the Moësa flowing down from the top of the San Bernardino pass .
