Grenoble-Bastille Cable Car
Téléphérique Grenoble Bastille
One of the world's earliest urban cable cars, opened in 1934. Transparent spherical 'bubble' cabins fly over the Isère River in minutes to reach the Bastille.
The cable car departs from Quai Stéphane-Jay by the river. A set of five spherical cabins runs in sync and reaches Fort de la Bastille within minutes, offering views of the Isère River and the rooftops of the old town along the way. It is Grenoble's signature icon. A round-trip ticket costs about €10. You can ride the cable car up and walk down through the fort's stone steps and past the Musée Dauphinois. Lines are long at midday in peak season, so ride in the morning or evening. Operating hours vary by season, so check the official website.
