Grenoble weather

As you would expect from a city at the foot of the Alps, Grenoble’s experiences both extremes when it comes to the weather. Summers can be gloriously sunny with average temperatures into the mid-20s. By winter, the surrounding mountains are snow-clad and perfect for skiing with temperatures dropping to close to zero. Grenoble becomes a winter wonderland and is a magical place to visit during December and January. If you’re after some more summery pursuits, the best time to capitalise on a warm Grenoble weather forecast is between May and September.
