Jet2 has launched direct flights from Newcastle to Grenoble, France, for the 2026/27 ski season. The flights will operate weekly from mid-December 2026 until April 2027.
Grenoble: Capital of the Alps
Known as the 'Capital of the Alps', Grenoble is a gateway to more than 175 ski resorts. Many travelers bypass the city itself, heading straight to the mountains. The city also offers riverside museums and a historic quarter with cafés and shops.
Jet2 has also launched flights to Chambery and Geneva for the same season, with over 20,000 seats available across the three destinations.
Top ski resorts near Grenoble
Les Deux Alpes is 90 minutes from Grenoble and stays open in summer thanks to its glacier at 3,600m. It is ideal for beginners and snowboarders, featuring Freestyle Land, one of Europe's best snow parks.
Alpe d'Huez enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year but still gets plenty of snow. It offers runs up to La Sarenne, a legendary 16km black run, plus ice driving, dog sledding, and an ice cave.
Chamonix, the oldest ski resort in France, hosted the first Winter Olympics in 1924. It is 2.5 hours from Grenoble but only one hour from Geneva, making Geneva a better flight option for some.
