60 days in Grenoble Itinerary

At the foot of the French Alps where the river Drac joins the Isère (the lion and the serpent), Grenoble offers you tons of winter and summer activities to keep the entire family busy, like hiking, climbing, skiing, and snowboarding, as well as swimming in clean mountain lakes.

Your list of things to see and do now includes Vertiges Aventure, Le Plan B, Barberousse, and other attractions. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Musee Europeen de l'Aviation de Chasse and Jardin de Ville. Venture out of the city with trips to Pierre Percee (in Pierre-Chatel), La Mine Image (in La Motte-d'Aveillans) and Musee de la Revolution Francaise (in Vizille). And it doesn't end there: don't miss a visit to Gorges de la Bourne, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Catedral de Notre Dame, take an exotic tour of Water Taxi Annecy, and see the interesting displays at L'Artisan Nougatier.
