Scenic drives
The French Alps
Grenoble’s position on the doorstep of the French Alps means it’s poised as the optimal base for an epic drive along the Route des Grandes Alpes.
From the city you can easily reach several of the route’s high mountain passes, including Col de la Croix de Fer and Col du Galibier. Breathe in the fresh mountain air while ascending the road’s vertical climbs and admiring the surrounding glaciers and uninterrupted mountain views.
Note that the road is closed during the winter, so plan your journey for the summer, between June and August.
