 The origin of the Barberine, the Lac d'Emosson |
||
The Barberine is a torrent in the Valais Alps , which runs in the border area between Switzerland and France . The Barberine rises from the Lac d'Emosson in Switzerland, generally flows south to south-east and flows into the Eau Noire as a left tributary after about three kilometers within sight of the hamlet of Barberine (municipality of Vallorcine ), but just on Swiss territory . In its course, the stream does not always form the national border, but changes sometimes to France, sometimes to Switzerland. On his way he touches the Swiss canton of Valais and the French department of Haute-Savoie .
