Getting to Grenoble

These two general documents describe the location of Grenoble:

The easiest way to come to Grenoble is to fly to Lyon Satolas (LYS) airport.
Attention. From July 29 of 2000, this airport is renamed Lyon-Saint Exupery. Its international IATA code is still LYS.

For people coming from the USA, Air France (international websites by clicking top left of this page on the "Air France websites around the world" link), proposes a flight from the New York Kennedy (JFK) airport to Lyon Satolas (LYS) airport via its partner Delta Air Lines.

This flight schedules are the follows:

Note that you should book your tickets long beforehand, since these flights are in great demand. The telephone of Air France is 1 800 237 2747 or see their website otherwise.

Then, the most convenient way to come to Grenoble is to use the shuttle to the Grenoble coach station (this station is just next to the railway station) called the "Satobus". You can find schedules and prices on this page of the Lyon Satolas (LYS) airport website.

The Lyon airport also has a TGV (Very High Speed french train) railway station, but only 3 trains are scheduled daily beetween the airport and Grenoble:
