Rhone Glacier

The Rhone glacier in the Swiss Alps has several claims to fame. It is the source of the Rhone River, the largest glacier in the Urner Alps, and it contributes plenty of water to beautiful Lake Geneva. 
Travelers love the stunning views of nearby mountaintops and the pristine blue lake and say the scenic Furka Pass offers easy access to the picturesque glacial scenery. Curious visitors can also pay a nominal fee to venture inside the glacier, where it’s possible to explore ice caves on a self-guided tour.
