Private jet charter to Grenoble

London to Grenoble is about an hour and a half, with a whole aircraft priced from roughly 7,400 GBP one way. The runway here is 3,050 metres of grooved asphalt, long enough for an airliner, so unlike most Alpine fields the aircraft you want is almost never the problem. What decides a booking instead is fire cover: the airport keeps rescue and firefighting category 5 on standing duty and lifts it to category 7 only on prior request, which separates a Gulfstream G450 arriving as a matter of course from a Global that needs arranging. Saint-Geoirs lies 40 kilometres west-northwest of the city and under two hours from Alpe d'Huez and Les Deux Alpes, the two resorts it genuinely beats every rival gateway to. Our customers have access to 6500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. For 15 years of successful work, we have established partnerships with the world’s largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you the most favorable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. Aircraft suited to this run tend to sit around Geneva, Lyon, Nice and the London fields, which keeps the positioning leg short in both directions. The business terminal works from seven in the morning until nine at night, later by arrangement, and your handler books the parking stand at the same time as the slot.

 

private jet charter

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Grenoble depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

  • using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
  • via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
  • by landline or cell phone;
  • via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

 

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from London Luton, a Cessna Citation XLS+ and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

 

How long does it take to fly to Grenoble?

Around an hour and a half from the London fields, and a little over two hours from Scotland. The figures are block times with taxi and descent counted in rather than airborne minutes. Everything below is measured to Saint-Geoirs, LFLS, and not to Lyon or Chambery.

Route Aircraft Flying time Routing

Weather rarely costs you time on the approach itself, because the field lies out on the flat of the Bievre valley rather than up among the peaks. Where the winter day goes missing is on the road afterwards, and the transfer table further down is the part of this page worth reading twice.

Prices for the private jet flights to Grenoble

Below are the approximate prices for recent flights from across the UK, sorted from the lowest. Every figure buys the whole aeroplane one way rather than a seat, and each one assumes a cabin that fits inside the standing fire category at Saint-Geoirs.

Two things that move the price on this route

The first is cabin size, and here the question has an unusually clean answer. Because the runway takes everything, you are not pushed down a category as you are at the small alpine strips, so thirteen people fly together in one Legacy instead of splitting across a pair of smaller aeroplanes. The saving is real: one crew, one landing, one handling bill.

The second is the day of the week. Saturday is changeover day across the French Alps, and in the high winter weeks the stands go before the aircraft do. Shifting a departure to a Friday or a Sunday often buys back more than the gap between two types, and a repositioning flight in the right direction appears on our empty legs list at a fraction of the charter rate.

 

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:

 

 

 

Private jet flights to Grenoble from Europe

A good share of the traffic into Saint-Geoirs starts on the continent rather than in Britain, and the sectors below are the ones our brokers price most often.

Route Aircraft Flight time Price
Nice - Grenoble
130 nm / 241 km
Cessna Citation CJ2+, up to 6 passengers about 0 h 50 min from 5,200 GBP
Milan Linate - Grenoble

Embraer Legacy 600, up to 13 passengers about 1 h 35 min from 13,900 GBP
Amsterdam - Grenoble
418 nm / 773 km
Embraer Legacy 600, up to 13 passengers about 1 h 40 min from 14,600 GBP

 

Two things worth knowing about these sectors

– Lyon, Chambery and Geneva do not appear above, and that is deliberate. All three lie inside an hour of Saint-Geoirs by road, so a charter between them buys nothing: we quote the car instead and say so plainly rather than selling a twenty-minute hop;

– On legs of this length the fixed costs dominate. Crew duty, landing, handling and the positioning flight home barely change whether the aeroplane is airborne for fifty minutes or a hundred, which is why the Amsterdam figure sits far closer to the Nice one than the mileage between them would suggest.

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

Hourly rates make the effect of cabin size easy to see. The list is ordered by price, and the only lines carrying a condition at Saint-Geoirs are the bottom pair, where the fire cover has to be lifted before the aeroplane can come.

Turboprop (Pilatus PC-12 NGX)from 1,750 GBP/h
Light jet (Citation CJ2+, Phenom 300E)2,400 - 3,100 GBP/h
Midsize (Citation XLS+, Hawker 900XP)3,300 - 3,900 GBP/h
Super-midsize (Challenger 350, Praetor 600)4,800 - 5,600 GBP/h
Heavy (Legacy 600, Falcon 900LX, Gulfstream G450)5,400 - 6,800 GBP/h
Ultra-long range, fire cover raised on request (Global 6000, Gulfstream G650)from 8,400 GBP/h
Business liners, fire cover raised on request (ACJ, BBJ)from 11,000 GBP/h

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database contains over 6500 business jets of different configurations and production years, and the list is constantly updated. The five groups below are the ones that matter for a flight into Saint-Geoirs, and what each is actually for is written under its heading.

 

Turboprops

Rarely the obvious choice on a sector this long, but a PC-12 carries skis and boot bags without complaint. Worth quoting when the party is four and budget matters more than forty minutes.

Pilatus PC-12 NGX · 6 seatsfrom 1,750 GBP/h
Beechcraft King Air 350i · 7 seatsfrom 1,950 GBP/h

Light jets

The value answer from southern England, where the leg is short enough that a bigger cabin buys comfort rather than time. The Phenom has a genuine hold, which on a ski booking counts for more than two extra seats.

Cessna Citation CJ2+ · 6 seatsfrom 2,400 GBP/h
Embraer Phenom 300E · 8 seatsfrom 2,900 GBP/h

Midsize

A stand-up cabin and the workhorse of this route from the Midlands and the north. Nine seats with hold volume for nine sets of skis is what makes it the most quoted aircraft we put into Grenoble.

Cessna Citation XLS+ · 9 seatsfrom 3,300 GBP/h
Hawker 900XP · 8 seatsfrom 3,600 GBP/h

 

online private jet directory

 

Super-midsize and heavy

Everything here fits the standing fire category and arrives without special arrangement. This is the band that lets thirteen people travel as one party from Scotland or Belfast.

Bombardier Challenger 350 · 9 seatsfrom 4,800 GBP/h
Embraer Legacy 600 · 13 seatsfrom 5,400 GBP/h
Gulfstream G450 · 14 seatsfrom 6,300 GBP/h

Ultra-long range, with notice

These exceed the cover the airport keeps on duty, so the upgrade is requested at booking rather than on the day. A formality with notice and an obstacle without, which is why we ask about type early.

Bombardier Global 6000 · 13 seatsfrom 8,400 GBP/h
Gulfstream G650 · 14 seatsfrom 9,200 GBP/h

 

This is only a small part of the fleet open to us. Where an aircraft sits outside the standing fire cover we say so at the quoting stage and arrange the upgrade, or move the arrival to Lyon if the notice is too short.

Business aviation airports in Grenoble

Grenoble has two aerodromes and only one of them takes jets. The panel below covers the one you will actually use, and the note underneath explains the single rule that shapes a booking here more than anything else.

AirportGrenoble Alpes Isere, also written Saint-Geoirs (GNB / LFLS)
Position40 km west-northwest of Grenoble, on the floor of the Bievre valley
Runway09/27, 3,050 by 45 metres, grooved asphalt
Elevation397 metres, or 1,302 feet, and clear of the mountains
Fire categoryLevel 5 on standing duty, level 7 available on prior request
What level 5 coversAircraft up to 28 metres long, which reaches a Gulfstream G450
Business terminalMonday to Saturday 07:00 to 21:00, Sunday and holidays from 08:00
Outside those hoursExtended by arrangement, requested with the flight plan
Handling frequencyA dedicated business aviation channel separate from the main tower
BorderFrance is in Schengen and Britain is not, so a UK arrival crosses a frontier
Aircraft servicesDe-icing, ground power, air start and potable water on request
FuelJet A-1 supplied by Air BP
OperatorVinci Airports, under delegation from the Isere departmental council

 

Fire category, and why it decides more here than the runway does

Rescue and firefighting cover is graded by the size of the largest aeroplane an airport is prepared to receive. Saint-Geoirs holds level 5 as standard, which on the international scale covers aircraft between 24 and 28 metres long. That takes in almost everything a British client charters, up to a Gulfstream G450 or an Embraer Legacy 650. Level 7 exists but is arranged on prior request rather than standing by, and it is what a Global, a G650 or a converted airliner requires.

None of this obstructs anything when it is known early, and all of it does when the type changes late. Hence our first question on a booking here is the passenger count and the second is whether anyone wants a bed rather than a seat.

 

business aviation

 

The other fields in range, and what each is genuinely for:

Field What it takes and when it suits
Chambery Savoie Mont Blanc
CMF / LFLB, 28 nm
The Tarentaise gateway, and the honest answer whenever the destination is Courchevel, Meribel, Val Thorens, Les Arcs or Val d'Isere, saving roughly three quarters of an hour on those transfers. The trade is the approach, which runs in over the lake between high ground and closes in poor visibility more readily than Grenoble does
Lyon Saint-Exupery
LYS / LFLL, 24 nm
A full international airport operating around the clock, with high fire cover as standard and no seasonal limit. The answer for a very large aircraft, a late arrival after the business terminal shuts, or a trip pairing the mountains with a city stay. About an hour by road to Grenoble
Grenoble Le Versoud
LFLG, 24 nm
The field nearest the city, ten kilometres from the centre, and the one clients ask about for that reason. Its runway is around 900 metres with no business aviation handling, so it serves light aircraft and gliders. Worth knowing mainly so it can be ruled out
Geneva
GVA / LSGG, 62 nm
The busiest business aviation airport in the Alps, with the deepest choice of aircraft at short notice. Better for the Chamonix valley, and roughly two hours from the Oisans, so it rarely wins here unless parking forces it
Turin
TRN / LIMF, 99 nm
On the Italian flank, useful when a party combines French and Italian resorts in one week. Every aircraft category and full customs, about three hours by motorway and tunnel to the Oisans

 

Three practical points

– The airport belongs to a winter economy and follows the ski calendar rather than a business week. Between December and April the Saturday movement count multiplies, and a stand asked for a fortnight out is a very different proposition from one requested in June;

– Because Britain sits outside Schengen, a flight from the UK crosses an external frontier and the arrival is recorded electronically under the EU entry and exit system. On a private arrival that formality happens at the aeroplane, lodged by your handler with the flight plan;

– Snow closes the mountain roads far more often than it closes this runway. The field lies low and flat, so the risk on a February booking sits in the two hours after you land.

 

Passengers use the business terminal rather than the seasonal main concourse, and half an hour before departure is ample on an ordinary day. Our consultants confirm the opening window and the ground arrangements against your specific date.

 

From the apron to the pistes

This is where Grenoble either wins or loses against the other Alpine gateways, and the answer depends entirely on which valley you are going to. For the Oisans it is the closest airport in France. For the Tarentaise it is not, and we will say so.

about 2 h 40 min
Val d'Isere and Tignes
the far end of the Espace Killy
about 2 h 50 min

 

Which airport actually shortens your day

Alpe d'Huez and Les Deux Alpes sit between an hour and a half and an hour and three quarters from Saint-Geoirs, against closer to three hours from Geneva. For those two, and for Vaujany, Oz-en-Oisans and Chamrousse beside them, this airport is not merely convenient but correct by a wide margin. Courchevel and Val d'Isere invert the picture: Chambery is three quarters of an hour nearer. Tell us the resort rather than the region and we will point you at whichever field shortens the day.

 

Helicopter transfers from Saint-Geoirs

A rotary leg out of Saint-Geoirs is a straightforward proposition in a way that it is not at the higher alpine fields, because the airport is low, flat and clear of terrain. The times below are flying minutes, and each should be read against the road figure in the table above.

Grenoble city centreabout 12 minutes
Chamrousseabout 20 minutes
Alpe d'Huezabout 25 minutes
Les Deux Alpesabout 25 minutes
Courchevel altiportabout 30 minutes
Meribel altiportabout 30 minutes
Val d'Isereabout 35 minutes

 

When the helicopter earns its cost, and when it does not

On a clear February Saturday the road to Alpe d'Huez takes an hour and three quarters and the rotary leg twenty-five minutes, which is pleasant rather than necessary. After heavy snowfall the same road can run to three hours or shut altogether, and those twenty-five minutes decide whether you ski on Sunday morning. The Tarentaise altiports make the stronger case in any weather.

Two things govern whether it happens. Mountain weather grounds helicopters sooner than it closes motorways, so we keep the car as the fallback. And landing anywhere other than an established altiport or resort pad is agreed beforehand, not decided in the air.

 

Flying to Grenoble with a dog or a cat

France is about as straightforward a destination as exists for a British dog, and the return leg is equally undramatic. What trips people up is not the French end at all, but a change on the British side that has invalidated the document many families had travelled on for years.

The one fact to read before you book

An EU pet passport is no longer accepted from an owner whose main residence is in Great Britain, and it makes no difference which member state issued the booklet or how long ago. What replaces it is an Animal Health Certificate, signed by an official veterinarian and valid for a single journey, which has to be dated within ten days of your departure. Practices accredited to issue one are heavily booked through the ski holidays, so the vet appointment belongs in the diary the moment the dates are settled, ahead of almost everything else.

 

What France asks for on the way in:

  • A microchip to ISO 11784 or 11785, fitted and readable before the rabies vaccination is given. The wrong order voids the vaccination for travel purposes and means starting again;
  • Rabies vaccination from twelve weeks of age, with twenty-one clear days between a first course and the flight. A booster given inside the validity of the previous one needs no wait;
  • An Animal Health Certificate from an official veterinarian, issued within ten days of departure and printed bilingually in English and the language of your first country of entry;
  • Nothing further on the way in. France asks for no worming or tick treatment at the border, which catches out owners who have read the rules for Finland or Malta;
  • Five animals per party at most, unless the trip is to a recognised competition or show and you can produce the entry paperwork.

 

Species only matters coming home. A dog returning to Great Britain from France needs a praziquantel worming treatment administered by a vet no less than twenty-four and no more than one hundred and twenty hours before it lands, with the date and the hour written onto the certificate. Cats and ferrets are exempt. France is a listed country for the purposes of return, so no antibody test and no waiting period apply.

 

Is there a vet at Saint-Geoirs?No practice on the airport itself
Nearest surgeriesIn Saint-Etienne-de-Saint-Geoirs and in Voiron, both a short drive
How we handle itThe appointment is booked with the charter and confirmed to you in writing
Paperwork on arrivalLodged in advance with the flight plan and checked at the aeroplane
Size or weight limitNone on a charter, and the animal stays in the cabin throughout

 

Well under two hours from the London fields is a short enough hop that most dogs settle before the climb has finished, and a charter removes the hold, the crate rule and the separation at both ends. The wider rules are set out on our travel with pets page. The single thing to carry away from this section is that the certificate, not the aeroplane, is what dictates how far ahead you need to begin.

 

The Grenoble season

Saint-Geoirs is a winter airport with a quiet summer, and the gap between the two is wider here than at almost any other field we work with.

When the airport is busy, and what it means for a booking

– The fortnight spanning Christmas and New Year, when the resorts fill and the stands go first. Aircraft, parking and ground transfer are committed together rather than in sequence;

– February half term, the heaviest period of the year for British families in the Oisans, and the point at which a Saturday arrival costs meaningfully more than a Friday one;

– Any Saturday from January to March. Changeover day loads the whole French Alpine road network at once, and a mid-morning landing puts you into the worst of the climb;

– May to November, when the airport is close to dormant. Prices soften, stands are there for the asking, and the Isere is a good summer destination in its own right.

 

Types of flights

Our company provides all types of business flights. Due to a wide variety of jets, we can arrange:

  1. private flights;
  2. corporate flights;
  3. business class flights;
  4. concert tours;
  5. medical flights (with doctors and special equipment on board);
  6. tourist flights for large and small groups;
  7. sports charters for teams and coaching staff;
  8. combined flights (partly by business jet, and partly by helicopter);
  9. exclusive flights on luxury jets for businessmen, celebrities, and politicians;
  10. cargo flights, etc.

A flexible approach and a wide experience allow us to solve problems of any complexity. In 90% of cases, we manage to arrange urgent flights (on the day of application). That holds for ordinary European sectors; in the winter weeks at Saint-Geoirs the parking stand is the limiting factor rather than the aeroplane, so for a Saturday in season we recommend sending a request well before the desired date of departure.

Empty Legs

Another way to fly cheaper is to use Empty Legs. This service allows you to save on regular charter rates. As you know, part of the flights is one-way. Saturday changeover in the Alps creates an unusual number of these: an aeroplane that has brought one party into Saint-Geoirs in the morning very often flies out empty towards Geneva, Lyon or the London fields before collecting another group in the afternoon. Such flight is called “Empty Legs”. Empty leg flights can be as cheap as 50-75% off the standard charter price. This option is profitable for both the passengers and the charter companies. The clients can enjoy the services of business aviation at a very good price, while the airlines recoup part of the cost of fuel and jet maintenance.

It is almost impossible to find Empty Leg flights, as the information about them is stored in special databases available only to the aviation brokers and specialized companies. You should know that Empty Leg flights offer the same service as private jet charters. The passengers enjoy a 100% private jet flying experience. Services and flight conditions are discussed individually. We should note that our company cooperates with the world’s largest home bases, so we can offer our clients a wide choice of return flights. Just send a request to our manager who will help you find the best flight options. Please note that Empty Leg flights are sold out very quickly. To avoid such a problem, you can leave us a deposit, and we will contact you as soon as the flight of your choice becomes available. For additional information, check with the operators.

Jet Sharing

Today, Jet Sharing is just as popular as private jet charter. This service involves the joint rental of a business jet with other passengers (that is, the cost of the flight is divided equally between all passengers of a specific flight). This type of flight has become especially popular in the last few years. Many people like Jet Sharing because it allows you to enjoy all benefits of business aviation at favorable prices.

We should note that the number of passengers per Jet Sharing flight varies from 3 to 8, while the cost of the flight ranges from 1200 to 6000 pounds (depending on the destination). This way, you can get a comfortable flight on a business jet (and maybe even meet new business partners) at a very good price. You can check out the schedule of Jet Sharing flights by filling in the online form or contacting our operators by phone or WhatsApp.

Main advantages of this service:

  • All privileges of business aviation, including the use of the business aviation terminal and the check-in 30 minutes before the flight, are retained;
  • You can also use the services of the VIP Lounge (included in the price of the flight);
  • No baggage restrictions;
  • Affordable price: jet sharing is much cheaper than private jet charter;
  • Pets can be carried directly in the aircraft cabin.

 

Our consultants will be happy to help you choose the best flight.

 

jet sharing

 

Helicopter charter

Private Jets UK clients have access to a broad rotary fleet across the French Alps. Machines are normally boarded on the apron at Saint-Geoirs itself, so the skis stay with you and the road transfer disappears. Where a particular type is based elsewhere we arrange a car to the nearest approved pad.

The types that suit this region, and the job each one does:

  • Airbus H125, four passengers with ski bags, the standard hop into the Oisans and the least costly way to reach Alpe d'Huez from the apron;
  • Airbus H130, up to six seats, a quieter cabin on the same single-engine platform and the usual answer for a family;
  • Airbus H135, six seats, a light twin that holds its performance in poorer conditions and the type we put on a Tarentaise altiport;
  • Agusta AW109, six seats, the more comfortable twin, used when the leg is longer or the party expects a cabin rather than a seat.

 

Availability turns week by week and the Christmas and February periods commit months ahead. Please contact our aviation consultants for the current position on a particular model and date.

Flight payment options

The main goal of our company is to provide the highest level of comfort to our customers. Therefore, we’re always ready to meet you halfway. Our consultants will offer you a wide variety of flights to meet your needs and budget. Most customers prefer a non-cash method (a transfer to an EU bank account), which guarantees a high level of confidentiality and security of payment. All payment details are provided in advance, so you’ll have enough time to make the necessary checks. For years of working in business aviation, our company has gained an impeccable reputation. We practice transparency and are always ready to present all necessary documents.

Private Jet UK works with both physical and legal entities. We guarantee the confidentiality and security of payments. You can pay for the flights from Grenoble in any convenient way:

  • cashless (by transfer to our account);
  • by cash;
  • by card;
  • by cryptocurrency.

 

Our company works with European and British banks, which allows you to choose the most convenient payment method. In addition, we conclude formal agreements and provide our clients with all necessary documents and invoices, which guarantees the safe payment and delivery of services. If you have any financial questions, feel free to contact our private aviation consultants.

If you need to book an urgent flight, please keep in mind that the bank transfer can take a few days. In such situations, we may need to involve our partner companies so that you can pay for your flight in cash. If you have any questions, you can contact your personal consultant 24/7.

Grenoble charters we have flown: six trips from the booking notes

Those below come out of our own files. Surnames are reduced to initials and small details have been altered so that no client is identifiable. Each was picked because it turned on something specific to this airport rather than on charter generally.

SKI · FIRE COVER

Mr J. W.: the aeroplane that needed a phone call first

Luton to Grenoble, Global 6000, 1 h 40 min · 9 passengers

A family group wanting beds for the flight home off a long-haul connection, which put a Global on the quote. That sits above the cover the airport keeps on duty, so the upgrade to level 7 had to be requested before the booking could be confirmed. Ten days of notice made it a formality. Had the type changed in the final week, as it nearly did, the answer would have been Lyon and an hour of motorway.

GROUP · ONE AEROPLANE

A Scottish engineering firm: thirteen people, no split

Edinburgh to Grenoble, Legacy 600, 2 h 15 min · 13 passengers

They had been quoted two light jets elsewhere, on the assumption that an alpine airport would take nothing larger. Saint-Geoirs has three kilometres of runway and fire cover to match a Legacy, so the party flew as one. The saving against the pair came to a little over two thousand pounds, and the greater gain was arriving together rather than forty minutes apart with half the luggage elsewhere.

TRANSFER · WRONG AIRPORT

Ms R. B.: booked for Grenoble, going to Courchevel

Farnborough to Chambery, Phenom 300E · 6 passengers

The enquiry came in for Grenoble because that is the airport people associate with the French Alps. The destination was Courchevel, well over two hours from Saint-Geoirs and around ninety minutes from Chambery. We moved the arrival, the flight cost slightly less, and they reached the chalet before the lifts shut. It is the most common correction we make on this route.

SNOW · ROAD CLOSED

The T. family: the runway was fine and the hairpins were not

Bristol to Grenoble, Phenom 300E, 1 h 45 min · 6 passengers

Heavy overnight snowfall in the Oisans, the pass road under chain control and a queue building at Bourg-d'Oisans. The approach into Saint-Geoirs was untouched, which is the point about this airport. We had held a helicopter as the contingency, and twenty-five minutes of flying replaced what became a four-hour drive for everybody who had not.

DOG · CERTIFICATE

Mr and Mrs L.: ten days that nearly became nine

Biggin Hill to Grenoble, Citation CJ2+, 1 h 35 min · 4 passengers and a spaniel

They held an EU pet passport obtained in France some years earlier and every reason to think it still worked. It does not, for anyone living in Great Britain. The certificate must be signed inside the ten days before departure, and their usual practice had no accredited vet free until the eleventh. We found one that did, by a single afternoon.

BUSINESS · OUT OF HOURS

A semiconductor supplier: a meeting that ran past nine

Grenoble to Munich, Challenger 350, 1 h 25 min · 5 passengers

Grenoble is a serious microelectronics city, and this was a site visit rather than a ski trip. Talks overran and the departure slipped beyond the business terminal's normal closing time. An extension had been requested with the original flight plan as a precaution, which cost nothing and meant the aeroplane left that evening.

 

Grenoble and the Isere: destination overview

Grenoble is unlike the other names on this part of our site because it is a real city first and a gateway second. Some hundred and sixty thousand people live in it, it is one of the leading research and microelectronics centres in Europe, and it hosted the Winter Olympics in the late nineteen sixties. Three mountain ranges close around it, which is why the skiing starts within the hour.

 

Where to stay

For a ski week the answer is almost always the resort rather than the city. Alpe d'Huez is the large, sunny, south-facing option with the widest choice of hotels; Les Deux Alpes sits opposite and holds snow later thanks to the glacier; Vaujany and Oz-en-Oisans are quieter and cheaper on the same lift network. For business or summer, stay in Grenoble itself, around the Europole district or the old town below the Bastille.

 

What to do

The cable car to the Bastille fort, in glass spheres the locals call les bulles, is the one thing to do in the city itself. Below it the museum of Grenoble holds a collection well above the weight of the town. In winter the Oisans is the draw: Alpe d'Huez runs the Sarenne, among the longest black pistes in the Alps, and Les Deux Alpes offers glacier skiing into the summer. Warmer months hand the same roads to cycling, and the twenty-one hairpins above Bourg-d'Oisans need no introduction to anyone who follows the Tour.

 

When it is busy

Christmas, New Year and the February half term are the three periods when everything goes early. Saturdays through the winter are the pinch point for both stands and roads. March offers long days with the snow still good, and September gives you the mountains almost to yourself.

 

Frequently asked questions about flying to Grenoble

1How long is a private jet flight from London to Grenoble?

Roughly 1 hour 35 from Biggin Hill and 1 hour 40 from Luton or Farnborough, over a distance of some 416 to 451 nautical miles. Allow about 1 hour 50 from Birmingham, close to 1 hour 55 from Manchester, and 2 hours 15 to 2 hours 20 from Edinburgh or Glasgow. All of those are block times with taxi and descent included.

2How much does a private jet to Grenoble cost?

From about 7,400 GBP one way on a light jet out of Biggin Hill, 8,900 GBP from Farnborough and 10,200 GBP from Luton on a midsize cabin. Birmingham runs around 10,900 GBP and Manchester 11,800 GBP, while Edinburgh is about 19,600 GBP and Glasgow 20,100 GBP on a thirteen-seat Legacy 600. Those are shoulder-season figures for the whole aeroplane; the Christmas fortnight and February half term sit above them.

3Which airport do private jets use for Grenoble?

Grenoble Alpes Isere, GNB or LFLS, also called Saint-Geoirs, which lies 40 kilometres west-northwest of the city. The runway is 3,050 metres, so aircraft size is rarely the constraint. What does need checking is the rescue and firefighting cover: level 5 stands on duty, taking anything up to a Gulfstream G450, and level 7 for a Global or a G650 is arranged on prior request. The second Grenoble field, Le Versoud, is a light-aircraft aerodrome and takes no charter traffic.

4Do British passport holders need a visa for France?

No. A British passport permits visa-free travel for short stays of up to ninety days in any one hundred and eighty. France is inside Schengen and the United Kingdom is not, so the flight crosses an external frontier and the arrival is recorded electronically under the EU entry and exit system. On a private arrival the formality is completed at the aeroplane rather than in a hall, and your handling agent lodges it with the flight plan.

5Should I fly into Grenoble or Chambery for the ski resorts?

It depends entirely on the valley. For Alpe d'Huez, Les Deux Alpes, Vaujany and Chamrousse, Grenoble is the closest airport in France and wins by an hour or more against Geneva. For Courchevel, Meribel, Val Thorens, Les Arcs and Val d'Isere, Chambery is roughly three quarters of an hour nearer and is usually the better choice. Give us the resort rather than the region and we will quote whichever field shortens the journey.
