Grenoble

Grenoble is a city of around 158,000 inhabitants (550,000 taking into account the metropolitan area) in the French Alps.

The climate is quite cold in winter, with days of snow almost every year. Summers are known to be hot, as mountains surrounding the town stop any wind.

Grenoble is crossed by two rivers and the Drac and the Isère ("the lion and the serpent"), and is surrounded by three mountain chains and the Vercors, Chartreuse and Belledonne.

The city is renowned for its universities on the campus, for its scientific research centers in the northeast of the city, including Minatec for nanotechnologies and the Synchrotron for high-brilliance source of X-rays as well as for its industrial center in the western suburbs : Meylan, Montbonnot and Crolles including high-tech companies such as STmicroelectronics and Motorola. Therefore it hosts a relatively large population of foreign scientists and students.

Five tram lines cross the town with services every few minutes (less frequent on Sundays or at night) and an extensive bus network operates within the city itself and the suburbs and villages further out. The bus network typically stops service at 20:00, whereas most of the tram network runs until 01:00. Individual tickets cost around €2.90, less if bought by 10 or 30. Daily (€5), weekly and monthly passes are available with discounts for students. Tickets are valid for one hour of travel across the TAG network (bus and tram). Tickets can be purchased in the bus from the driver, and from machines on the platform for tramways, or at the Maison du Tourisme.

Information can be found at TAG and maps at (in French).

Disabled travelers

The entire tram network and many bus routes have been adapted for wheelchair users. The flatness of the city means it is generally very accessible.

Travel by bicycle in Grenoble

Despite its mountainous surroundings, Grenoble itself is one of the flattest cities in Europe, so cycling is an easy way of getting around. Pleasant recreational cycle routes follow the Drac and Isere rivers. An old bicycle track along the Isère river passes in front of the town centre, and the main boulevards have dedicated cycle lanes. Bicycles are allowed on some smaller streets, but riders often have to use the same lane as buses.

It is feasible to rent bicycles for a day, a week or longer at the train station and other MetroVelo offices- €3 a day and about €15/20 per month. For more information: métro-vélo . The service is extremely inefficient (20 min paperwork per person are required), so expect up to an hour to rent and to return a bike (which may be a problem if you shall take a train shortly after!).

However and the town is walkable and bicycle rides not crucial if you are focusing around town area.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Grenoble

Gare d'arrivée des bulles de Grenoble - cable vehicle on top of Bastille Fontaine au lion - Grenoble - 2017-09-20 - Fountain of lion - Grenoble

• The cable vehicle - French: téléphérique - @renoble.com Quai Stéphane Jay 45.192979, 5.726086 if you're walking, follow the Isère in the direction of the center of the town until you see the cables, you cannot miss them ☎ +33 4 76 33 44 44 +33 4 76 51 61 49 Opening Hours: Closed for 3 weeks in January. Otherwise open every day, 10:45-18:30 in winter and up to 09:15-00:15 in summer The cable vehicle is the easiest way to see the town from above, and the trip in the plastic bubbles is impressive. Priced at €5.50 one-way, €8 round trip, with discounts for students and under 15s. Free for under 5s. At the summit (some 260 m above the town) is a 19th-century fortress, La Bastille. When you arrive at the top, you can explore the fortifications, have a meal or light refreshments, follow winding paths further up the mountainside or simply enjoy the view (on a clear day Mont Blanc is visible in the distance). If you take the path (GR9) to the rear of the Bastille, you can walk approx 20-30 mins further up to Mont Jalla to get an even better view, where there is a memorial to the mountain troops who fought in WWII and a monument erected on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Grenoble (1944). You can also walk up to the Bastille via one of several paths or go by vehicle from the city of La Tronche. Paths start from the Fountain of lion on the East side, (this path is called Montée Chalemont) or a park on the West, near the large arch (called Jardin des Dauphins).

Grenoble - View to the Massif of Belledonne

• With three mountain ranges on the doorstep, Hiking and climbing are very popular. The place to start is the Maison de la Montagne (3, Rue Raoul Blanchard), where you can browse maps and helpful staff (several English-speakers) can help you choose a route according to your level of fitness and the time you have on hand. For short walks around the city, ask for the "Carte des Sentiers Sipavag" (a free hiking map) at the Tourism Office (4, Rue de la République) or Maison de la Montagne, close to the Hubert Doubedout tram station. Also look for the "Guides des Balades" at the TAG office (in the same building of the Tourism Office)- a nice add-on to the Sipavag map which lists a number of parks and hikes you can reach with public transportation. The new edition for 2007 includes over 50 different walks, from half-hour strolls to full-day hikes. You will also find suitable maps at any bookshop; the best ones are published by the IGN (National Geographic Institute) and Didier Richard. Without proper maps and the trails can be confusing and you may be lost in the many turns, steps, ups and downs. However, if you are careful to observe and follow the colour codings on trees and at key turnings and then it can still be an enjoyable alternative way of getting up or down the mountain.

Alped'Huez43 - A famous ski resort, l'Alpe d'Huez

• In winter, skiing is a popular activity, which is unsurprising given the historically ski-friendly terrain; Grenoble hosted the Tenth Winter Olympic games in 1968. The nearest ski stations are only 45 min from Grenoble by car. Stations close to Grenoble include Autrans (1000 m up in the Vercors), Chamrousse (1700 m - 2200 m, in Belledonne). Avoid the two last two weeks of December, which are overcrowded at all ski stations and the most expensive of the year. During high season there are also several daily buses to big ski resorts such as Deux Alpes and Alpe d'Huez (1hr 30min trip). Tickets can be purchased at the Gare Routiere and they offer reductions when buying bus tickets and ski passes in combination. If skiing's not your thing but you still fancy a snowy outing, you might like to try snowshoeing- many centres around Grenoble offer half- or full-day excursions, ask at the Maison de la Montagne or the Maison du Tourisme.
• Mountain lakes are a great place to visit during a hot summer day, to swim or just to admire the landscape. For example and the Lacs Robert and Lac Achard are one or two hours hike from Chamrousse. Several paths are available, some suitable for the whole family, others advised for adults only. Also, Annecy - a small, historic city on the edge of a beautiful lake, perfect for swimming- can be visited by train in 1hr 30min (up to €32 return trip). Fishing in lakes and in some rivers is allowed, but (like everywhere else in France) a permit is required. For information about fishing, contact the local fishermen's union (Union des pêcheurs à la ligne. 8, Rue Ampère, tel. +33 9 50 35 11 73, fax +33 4 76 49 02 17, e-mail:
• Moucherotte mountain and the hardest (and best) way to see the town from above, for hikers willing to spend nearly a whole day. Go to Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte by vehicle or regional bus (bus 5100) and then follow the path to the top (you will start at 1000 m and go to 1900 m). The view of the town is stunning. A lot of people use this path on Sundays in Spring and Summer, so you're unlikely to get lost.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Grenoble

• If you are looking for a big commercial centre with chain-stores, consider Grand Place (tramway A direction Echirolles). Generally very crowded, especially at weekends.

Stay Safe

The Drac is a small river and may appear harmless, but the level of water may change quickly, especially when the dam upstream releases water.

Avoid the Villeneuve area at night (the tram stops La Bruyère, Arlequin, and Grand'Place) as well as Village Olympique.

Be aware of pickpockets on the tram and bus lines; though petty theft is not common in Grenoble, it does exist.
