Rivers and their tributarytributaries

Switzerland is drained into four directions:
, via the Rhine.
, via the Rhône River.
, via the Po River and the Adige.
, via the Danube.

Rivers that flow into other rivers are sorted by the proximity of their points of confluence to the sea (the lower in the list, the more upstream). Some rivers (e.g. Danube) do not flow through Switzerland themselves, but they are mentioned for having Swiss tributaries. They are given in 'italics'.
