Grenoble - Gateway to the French Alps

1/6/2019

 
Picture

​The city of Grenoble is located in the Dauphiné region, situated in a large valley surrounded by mountains, - the Chartreuse to the north, the Vercors to the south-west and the Belledonne alpine peaks stretching east to Italy. Host to the 1968 Winter Olympics, Grenoble is a thriving city, home to the science oriented Grenoble University and a centre for scientific nuclear research and micro-electronics industries.

It is attractively situated at the confluence of the Drac and Isère rivers with wonderful views of the mountains and has a vibrant and busy historic centre with a modern tram system.
​
In Summer, there is plenty of fantastic hiking and mountain biking opportunities and in Winter there are several excellent local ski resorts with the larger well known resorts within a 2 hour drive.
A cable car starting at quai Stéphane-Jay takes you up to the 16th century Fort de la Bastille where you are rewarded by breath taking views of the surrounding mountains and city.
