River sourced by a glacier in the Swiss Alps
Answer:
RHONE
Hint:
This major European river flows through Lake Geneva before emptying into the Mediterranean near Marseille, passing through France's famous wine regions along the way.
Explanation:
This clue points to the Rhone, a major European river that begins at the Rhone Glacier in the Swiss Alps. The mention of a glacier source narrows it down, as the Rhone is one of the few well-known rivers originating from Alpine ice. No wordplay is involved—it’s a straightforward geographic reference to the river’s starting point.
