River Churer Rheintal
Alpine Rhine
The Rhine rises in the Grisons Alps, the Vorderrhein near Lake Toma, Oberalppass in the Surselva and the Hinterrhein near the Rheinwaldhorn in the Hinterrhein/Viamala region. At Reichenau-Tamins, the Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein join to form the Rhine, which then flows past the city of Chur through the Graubünden and St. Gallen Rhine valleys into Lake Constance and on to the North Sea.
