- Location: The source of the Rhine River is located in the Swiss Alps, specifically in the canton of Graubünden in eastern Switzerland.
- Specific Details:
- The exact source of the Rhine River is the Rheinwaldhorn Glacier, also known as Paradiesgletscher or the Tödi Glacier.
- The Rheinwaldhorn Glacier is situated at an elevation of approximately 3,095 meters (10,154 feet) above sea level.
- The meltwater from the glacier forms numerous small torrents and streams, which merge to create the Vorderrhein River.
- The Vorderrhein and HinterrheinRivers eventually converge in a town called Reichenau (Tamins), forming the Alpine Rhine, which marks the start of the Rhine River, commonly referred to as the High Rhine.
