Too hot and polluted in summer
In a nutshell
go here for a get away from it all break with wonderful scenery
6 Reviews Most cities have their focal point, whether it be a main square or famous landmark and Grenoble is no exception. The Bastille is, or was, a military fortress overlooking the city, but it won’t be for the history that people really come up here for. It will almost certainly be for the views which are...
3 Reviews The Clock tower of the Collégiale Saint André was built in Gothic style in the XIVth century and is 56 meters high. It is surrounded by houses and cannot be seen better than on this photo. The basement is made of bricks while the needle is carved in tuff and was the model for many clock towers in...
3 Reviews Most of the Roman wall of Gratianopolis still exists but is completely hidden as it is included in houses and forms a wall for the ground level, holding several stories of housing. Several towers still exist but can hardly be seen in the entanglement of old houses in the very city center. When...
2 Reviews You will not be bothered neither by bicycles nor by motorbikes as they are forbidden. No rollers neither : they are not forbidden but the trail is too steep and there are many parts which have stairs, either open or covered. If you have a dog, it must remain on leash. The lowest part of the trail is...
4 Reviews Notre-Dame cathedral is complex. Its nave was built in the first half of the XIIIth, the south part in 1470. Renaissance chapels were added at the beginning of the XVIth. Major alterations took place in the XIXth. The clocktower-porch seems to be the oldest part. The two lower levels date from the...
2 Reviews The inside of the "Halle Sainte-Claire" is not easy to photograph as the booth built for the various shops have walls that forbid having a general view. You will find every fresh food shop except green grocers who are outside : fish and sea food (the photo), pork, beef, lamb, kid, poultry. There is...
2 Reviews This photos shows on the right bank of the Isére, the "quartier Saint Laurent". On the left bank, a square tower is on the back of the "Musée de Grenoble". A little further, the clock-tower of Saint André. In the background the Vercors Massif with the Moucherotte mountain.

Dizzyhead Says: You find the tourist office at Rue de la Rèpublique and they can provide you with maps, information papers and help you with other things too. It is very good to visit this office and get some information.
Dizzyhead Says: I met this man on the train to Grenoble. He and I talked about all kind of stuff during our trip on the train. He asked me about Sweden, because he planed to go to my country. He wanted to see the north of Sweden. I gave him so much information I could, and he got my mail...
vinc_bilb Says: (Even if I'm local, regular hiker, I was trapped in June 2008 (see photos), so, I'll try to apply my recommendations to myself ...)Common and known warnings, but could be reinforced in moutains area's:1- Weather brutal changesWeather and temperatures in mountains could...
vinc_bilb Says: It's not a real trap, but you could have to pay more for visiting Grenoble (museums, tourists hot spots) by taking and cumulating ticket entrance prices. You could have a free-accesses + reduced prices + extra advantages for children- Free accesses: Grenoble museum, Small...
katenoel Says: Luggage with wheels! Re-inforced wheels, because the roads are cobbled. Bring as light of things as you can, clothes, sport equipment, etc. You'll usually have to walk a little bit and use the public transport to get around, so hauling a bunch of heavy bags across the tram...

Ski or snowboard in the French Alps
localoptimum Says: Grenoble is an awesome starting point for ski and snowboard. Of the big stations, Alpe d'Huez and Deux Alpes are easily accessible. For Alpe d'Huez, my favourite spot, consider going to Vaujany, Oz, or Villard Reculas for your lift pass, you'll save yourself 20 mins of...
vinc_bilb Says: Grenoble "benefits" from an atypical climate, with an amplitude and variations of the highest in France. While in winter, the temperature can fall very low, in summer the city undergoes one of the strongest hot season of the country. The surrounding mountains form a huge...
