Regional Buses
Many regional buses can take you from the bus station gare routiere, by the train station to ski stations and several towns in the surrounding countryside. For example, Grenoble to Chamrousse bus 6010 ski station costs â¬2.70. It is better to buy tickets in advance for access to ski stations in high season- if the bus is crowded, you get priority. Tickets are sold at the main bus station and at the tourist information office French: Maison du tourisme which is on tram lines A and B stop: Hubert Dubedout- Maison du Tourisme.
Information on regional buses VFD (http://www.vfd.fr/) in French only, but finding buses schedules is easy. Be aware that the winter schedule saison neige is not the same as for the rest of the year.
By bike
Despite its mountainous surroundings, Grenoble itself is one of the flattest cities in Europe, so cycling is an easy way of getting around. Pleasant recreational cycle routes follow the Drac and Isere rivers. An old bicycle track along the Isère river passes in front of the town centre, and the main boulevards have dedicated cycle lanes. Bicycles are allowed on some smaller streets, but riders often have to use the same lane as buses.It is possible to rent bicycles for a day, a week or longer at the railway station and other MetroVelo offices- around â¬5 a day and about 15/20⬠per month. For more information: métro-vélo (http://www.metrovelo.fr/m...).
However, the town is walkable and bicycle rides not essential if you are focusing around town area.
Disabled Travelers
The entire tram network and many bus routes have been adapted for wheelchair users. The flatness of the city means it is generally very accessible.
Trams And Buses
Four tram lines cross the town with services every few minutes less frequent on Sundays or at night and an extensive bus network operates within the city itself, the suburbs and villages further out. The bus network typically stops service at 8:00pm, whereas most of the tram network runs until 1:00am. Individual tickets cost around â¬1.50, less if bought by 10 or 30. Daily, weekly and monthly passes are available with discounts for students. Tickets are valid for one hour of travel across the Semitag network bus and tram. Tickets can be bought in the bus from the driver, and from machines on the platform for tramways, or at the Maison du Tourisme. You must stamp composter your ticket for it to be valid: this is done on the platform at the tram stop or on entering a bus. Ticket inspections are frequent, even during weekends.

Avoid rush hour 7-9 a.m and 5-6 p.m. on highways around the town as you are likely to lose time in traffic jams.
