Hi all,
I am flying into grenoble Jan 2011 to ski in alpe d'huez,
I need to get from the airport to the train station in order to catch the bus, can anyone help me on what is cheapest/quickest bus/train?
I have then found that the transiere bus company do a regular service from the train station to alpe d'huez the 3020.
Does anybody have any experience of this and price?
I know ben's bus is about £45 return for sunday departure but I am a skin flint and would like to cost up all the options.
Cheers Andy

transisere are fine and won't be too expensive - they have a website which might have upto date pricing
however, they will stop in a few places along the way and you will inevitably have to hang around grenoble bus station for a while. i'd be very surprised if the whole process doesn't take at least 2 hours longer than bens bus, with more faff

There's a shuttle from the airport to the railway/bus station, don't know how much it costs - not much, I imagine, given that the bus from the station to Alpe d'Huez is only about a tenner.

Lizzard, it's less than €5.
If you're flying mid week check the bus times as there aren't that many and they are different every day.

I did this journey with Transiere last year - it was good - meaning it cost about 5 euros and on time for my transfer.
However I thought that the company was now being run by 'Grenoble Altitude' instead (12 euros) but I might be wrong - they also go directly to Alpe D'huez which might help.

hi guys thanks for advice i have been checking all the avenues and i can live with a longer transfer if its way cheaper
but grenoble attitude are 70 euros straight from grenoble airport to alpe d'huez
and 12 to grenoble bus station
so i firstly wondered if there was a cheaper alternative
as if the transiere bus is cheap and i mean 10 euros cheap and i can get from the airport to the bus station for 5 euros it will be worth doing
here is the transiere pdf price list it looks like its 5.40 euros but i cant tell if thats right http://www.transisere.fr/ftp/FR_Lignes/3020-5dec.pdf
otherwise bensbus is the cheapest at £55 with altitude second at £59
does anybody know how long arrival before check in at the grenoble end is roughly.......
sorry all the questions we have driven the last 5 trips

Looks like griffterski, is spot on and the navette is now run by Altitude along with a massive price hike. I'm not sure about the €5.40 part as that just refers to zones and I don't know what they are. I'm pretty sure I paid €9.60 to go Grenoble gare routiere to L2A in 2009.

aw-hicks, Grenoble can be a madhouse at weekend during the winter. Bensbus are very good though and if booked with them they have several buses running through the day to tie in with various flights. They also wait for you if delayed, within reason. The local buses were cheap but you could end up with long waits for connections, with price hikes that inconvenience may not be worth the saving which probably isn't that great now.

You know it makes sense.

One of the transiere routes stops not that far from.the airport. Not sure exactly. There is a big U supermarket nearby, perhaps in that area.

Grenoble Oxford is a stop quite near the bridge that crosses the Isere before you join the motorway. It's only about 5 mins from the station.

You can walk into St Geoirs and catch the service bus to Grenoble gare and it used to cost less than a fiver. From the airport you just keep walking past the Super U for probably less than a mile to St. Geoirs. Done it several times in both directions, think it's ligne 7320. Takes about an hour to Grenoble.

@admin, Its 2.5km and it may actually be ligne 7300. Is it me or is there something about french bus timetables that gives you the impression they are trying to make it as complicated as possible ?
