The Roya River flows from the Maritime Alps, crossing through Italy and into France before reaching the Mediterranean Sea. Known for its scenic beauty, the Roya is popular for outdoor activities, including swimming, especially in summer. During warmer months, water temperatures range from 16-22°C (61-72°F), which can be comfortable for swimming in calm sections of the river. Natural pools and calmer areas near towns, such as Breil-sur-Roya, are popular for swimming, where visitors can enjoy the refreshing waters and surrounding mountain landscapes. However, certain sections have stronger currents or rocky terrain, so caution is advised when choosing a spot.
In the colder months, water temperatures in the Roya drop considerably, often falling below 10°C (50°F), making swimming less appealing. Additionally, the Roya’s flow varies with seasonal rainfall and snowmelt, affecting both depth and current strength. It is recommended to check local conditions and designated swimming zones, as water quality can also fluctuate, especially after heavy rains.
