La Jonction is a place where the Rhône and Arve rivers come together, creating a magnificent and unique natural phenomenon. The two rivers have different water colors and when they come together, their waters mix and come together to form a final river, the Rhône. You can best observe this scenario from the bridge, conveniently located just 40 meters after the junction.

French:
The Arve flows into the Rhône bringing its alluvium, which causes this clear separation between the clean water of the Rhône and that full of sediments of the Arve.
English:
The Arve flows into the Rhone bringing its alluvium, which causes this clear separation between the clean water of the Rhone and that full of sediment of the Arve.
