Map of Switzerland showing major lakes and rivers. The following is a list of rivers of Switzerland (and tributaries thereof). Included rivers flow either entirely or partly through Switzerland or along its international borders.
This torrential has a nival regime and is a right-bank tributary of the Rhône.Its source is in the Chamossaire region at an altitude of 2,310 m. [1] It crosses the Savièse and Grimisuat plateaus and, after a course of around 11 km, flows into the Rhône at 490 m, after passing through the town of Sion.
Mouth of the Rhone. Reaching Lyon, the most populous city on its course, the Rhône receives its biggest tributary, the Saône, with an average flow of 473 m 3 /s (16,700 cu ft/s), compared to the Rhône's 600 m 3 /s (21,000 cu ft/s) at this point. [8] From this confluence, the Rhône follows a southward course.
The Durance's largest tributary is the Verdon. [1] The Durance itself is a tributary of the Rhône and flows into the Rhône near Avignon. The Durance is the second longest (after the Saône) of the tributaries of the Rhône and the third largest in terms of its flow (after the Saône and Isère).
Its largest tributary is the Doubs; upstream of receiving the Doubs at Verdun-sur-le-Doubs in Saône-et-Loire, the Saône is called the "Petite Saône" (lesser Saône), which reflects the large contribution of the Doubs to the Saône. In fact the Doubs's mean annual flow rate is slightly stronger than that of the Petite Saône, 175 cubic metres ...
The Janon is a tributary of the Gier, which in turn is a tributary of the Rhône.It is 13.9 kilometres (8.6 mi) long. [1] The Janon from Terrenoire to Saint-Chamond, and then the Gier from Saint-Chamond to Givors, create a valley in the coal basin between the Pilat massif to the south and the Riverie chain of the Monts du Lyonnais to the north.
