Rhône

The second one in Top 9 Longest Rivers in Switzerland that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Rhône. The Rhône is a major river in France and Switzerland that flows west and south through Lake Geneva and southeastern France before emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. The river divides into the Great Rhône (French: le Grand Rhône) and the Little Rhône (le Petit Rhône) near Arles. The Camargue region is formed as a result of the resulting delta.

The Rhône Glacier, on the eastern edge of the Swiss canton of Valais, is the river's source. The glacier is part of the Saint-Gotthard Massif, which is the source of three other major rivers: the Reuss, the Rhine, and the Ticino.

The Rhône has twice the average discharge of the Loire, France's longest river.

The Rhône begins as meltwater from the Rhône Glacier in Valais, in the Swiss Alps, at an elevation of about 2,208 meters (7,244 ft). From there, it flows southwest through Gletsch and the Goms, the Valais' uppermost valley region before Brig. It receives the waters of the Massa from the Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in the Alps, in the Brig area, and shortly after, it receives the waters of the Vispa, Valais's longest affluent. After that, it flows through the valley that bears its name, first in a westerly direction for about thirty kilometers to Leuk, then in a southwesterly direction for about fifty kilometers to Martigny.
