Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport is the main aerial gateway for travellers heading to Grenoble, capital of the French Alps, nestled in a spectacular mountain setting between the Chartreuse, Vercors and Belledonne massifs. While Grenoble has its own seasonal airport, the vast majority of international and domestic travellers fly into Lyon-Saint Exupéry, which serves over 130 destinations worldwide. The 100-kilometre journey crosses varied Isère landscapes from the Lyon eastern plains to the first Alpine foothills. Grenoble is a leading university and research city, home to the CEA, CNRS and the European Synchrotron (ESRF), attracting scientists from around the globe. It is also the ideal gateway to major Northern Alps ski resorts including Alpe d'Huez, Les Deux Alpes and Chamrousse. The Bastille cable car, one of the world's oldest, offers an unforgettable panoramic view over the city and surrounding peaks.
Route
Route Aéroport Lyon-Saint Exupéry → Grenoble
From Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, the driver takes the A43 motorway towards Chambéry-Grenoble. The motorway first crosses the eastern Lyon plain before reaching the L'Isle-d'Abeau junction. Past Bourgoin-Jallieu, the route branches south-east onto the A48 towards Grenoble. The landscape transforms dramatically as the plains give way to the first Chartreuse massif ridges with their characteristic limestone cliffs and dense fir forests. The A48 then descends through the Voreppe gorge, a narrow passage carved between the Chartreuse and Vercors massifs, offering striking views of the rock walls framing the natural entrance to the Grenoble basin.
Main route: A43 / A48 — ~9 € (sections A43 et A48 combinées)

Specific tips for the Aéroport Lyon-Saint Exupéry → Grenoble route
The journey is generally smooth on the motorway, except on Friday evenings in winter (ski resort departures) and Sunday evenings (returns). In winter, the Voreppe gorge section can be foggy in the morning — our drivers know this stretch perfectly. For travellers heading directly to ski resorts from the airport (Alpe d'Huez, Deux Alpes, Chamrousse), the driver can continue beyond Grenoble for a supplement — request a quote when booking. Provide your flight number at booking for real-time flight tracking. If arriving by TGV at the airport station, the driver can meet you at the Calatrava TGV station exit.
Tolls: ~9 € (sections A43 et A48 combinées)
