Grenoble Airport Terminal

GRENOBLE ISERE AIRPORT

Grenoble Isère International Airport, also known as Grenoble St Geoirs Airport (GNB) is situated 51 km (about 30 miles) North West of Grenoble. It is connected to the A48 motorway by a dual carriageway. It offers particularly short and fast access to the ski resorts of Isere, such as Alpe d’Huez and Les Deux Alpes.

Originally built for the 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympics, the airport has recently grown significantly, both in size and passenger volume.

It is serviced by many Low-Cost Airlines such as easyJet, Ryanair, BA, Wizz Air and Jet 2. Flights arrive from various destinations in the UK, Ireland, Poland and Lithuania.

On weekdays, it benefits from being quite a small airport and you usually clear customs & baggage reclaim quickly. However, it does suffer from delays on busy Saturdays.

Are There Toilets On The Bus?

Read more about Are There Toilets On The Bus?

We cannot guarantee there will be toilets on our vehicles - or if there are, that they will be working. Please make use of the facilities in resort or at the airport before boarding the bus.

If there is no toilet or it is not working, ask the driver to stop along the way as we do pass motorway service areas. To be extra sure, you could ask your rep to have a word with the driver before you leave to ensure he understands that you may need to stop en-route.

If you have a medical condition that may require you to use the toilet urgently, we would suggest looking at alternative transport options, since we cannot guarantee working toilets.

REASONS FOR TOILETS BEING OUT OF OPERATION

There are genuine reasons for toilets not being in operation. A lot of our buses park in the mountains overnight and the chemicals can freeze. Buses need special facilities to empty their toilets. If they over-fill, it's not pleasant! Our buses are sometimes used all day and so may not have the opportunity to visit these facilities.

Public transport out of Grenoble Airport is not very good at all. The airport is connected to Grenoble city centre via a shuttle bus., which arrives at the Grenoble train / bus station. Otherwise, the only buses that arrive and depart are Ben's Buses or other shared transfer companies - although we know of none that operate as we do. Once you arrive at Grenoble, you can catch a train or a local bus to your final destination.

Of course there are plenty of taxis in the area but it is strongly recommended to book a private transfer in advance.
