Arveyron

Arveyron, a small tributary of the Arve, in Savoy, is the outlet of the famous Mer de Glace, in the valley of Chamouni, from which it issues in a torrent through a beautiful grotto of ice, from 40 to 150 feet in height, known as the 'Ice-gates of the Arveyron.' Its course is short, and it joins the Arve on its right bank, some distance above Chamouni.
