Converted van hire in Grenoble

The converted van (Fiat Ducato, Adria Twin, Pössl…) is the sweet spot in Grenoble: barely bulkier than a campervan, it adds real standing height, a wet room with shower and a permanent bed in the back. It is the favourite of couples on long trips — self-sufficient, discreet and parkable on a space and a half.

Converted van routes out of Grenoble

Three massifs ring the city: the Chartreuse road over the Col de Porte, the balcony roads of the Vercors — the Bourne gorges and Combe Laval, carved into sheer cliff — and the Oisans along the D1091, which follows the Romanche up to Bourg-d’Oisans and the Col du Lautaret. The Route Napoléon (N85) strikes due south towards Gap. On the Oisans side, the Auris-en-Oisans aire, 24 equipped pitches, and those at Les Deux Alpes provide high-altitude stopping points before the Lautaret, where overnight options can be counted on one hand.

When to rent a converted van in Grenoble

The Lautaret stays open almost year-round, but the neighbouring Galibier is only crossable from June to October, like most high passes. In summer, the heat of the Grenoble basin pushes you towards altitude by morning. June and September deliver flowering alpine pastures then autumn light, with the balcony roads finally quiet.
