Geneva, Switzerland’s capital, is known for its elegance, history, and nature. One of the many places to visit is where the Rhone River, one of Europe’s major rivers flowing through France and Switzerland, is joined by the Arve River: Le Pointe de la Jonction.

Pointe de la Jonction: a breathtaking scenery 

Since the two rivers do not initially mix due to their different water speed, people passing by will be able to witness a striking contrast between the two riverbeds, perfect for photography or social media!

Across the different seasons, the joint rivers offer different, breathtaking views. In spring, the contrast is clear as the Arve has a rich, muddy color compared to the Rhone's bright blue. During the summer, the riverbanks turn greener, and this location becomes perfect for walks, bike riding and other outdoor activities. In autumn, the trees around the rivers change to warm, earthy tones that reflect in the water, also filled with the colorful leaves, creating a peaceful and romantic atmosphere. Even in winter, when the rivers are quieter and the landscape is covered in snow, Pointe de la Jonction remains an impressive sight.

An attraction not only for tourists…

This area, however, is not only loved by tourists who visit Geneva. In fact, is also a beloved spot for its locals, who tend to go there to unwind, swim in Rhone’s clear and swimmable waters or enjoy the nature. This spot is also chosen by groups of friends or young adults who want to spend some time together listening to some music or in the neighboring Halle de la Jonction. Here, it is possible to participate to many activities, such as Padel tournaments, yoga, or even quizzes about important matters for the city!
