Going to Grenoble from Lyon Airport

Take the shuttle bus of the company "Cars Faure" (SATOBUS) leaving from the departure level of Terminal 1. Tickets  can be bought in the central entrance hall (departure level, ticket counter next to the bus stop). The return ticket (30 Euro both ways) is cheaper than two one-way tickets. The trip to Grenoble takes roughly 1 hour and stops at the central bus station next to the Grenoble railway station.


Going to Grenoble from Geneva  Airport

You can take a train (CCF) from the train station in the airport to the Geneva Cornavin central station. There is also a public bus (TPG) to the city center with a stop at the central train station (either "22-cantons" or "Gare Cornavin"). From the Cornavin station, there is a SNCF train connection to Grenoble, via Lyon or Chambéry. Direct connections are rather rare (three on a sunday).

Where do I find IRAM?

From your hotel, go to the next tramway station, "Gambetta", at the intersection of Boulevard Gambetta and Avenue Alsace-Lorraine and take the tramway line B, direction "Gières Plaine des Sports". Get off at the stop called Les Taillées (after the tram has crossed first the highway, then the river Isère and entered the campus). From there, IRAM is at an easy walking distance (see plan).
