How to Get There

By air

Air travel is notoriously vulnerable to change, so readers are advised to check the current situation either through a local travel agent, or by browsing the Internet.

Grenoble is the most convenient airport for the Oisans region, with low-price flights via Easyjet (from London Gatwick, Birmingham and Bristol), and Ryanair (from Stansted). To check the current timetables and availability visit www.easyjet.com and www.ryanair.com

Grenoble airport is just 30mins by bus from the city centre. Buses go directly to the central bus station (Gare routière), which is located next to the railway station.

By train

Modern high-speed trains offer a viable – albeit more expensive – alternative to air travel. Eurostar takes about 3hrs for the journey from London St Pancras to Paris (Gare du Nord) via the Channel Tunnel, and the TGV service connects Paris (Gare du Lyon) with Grenoble in 2hrs 55mins.
