🇫🇷 Moirans

Major

France

Two regional routes meet at Moirans (UIC 8774732) in the Isère department of south-eastern France, where the main line between Grenoble and Valence is joined by the branch towards Voiron and Chambéry. Traffic is largely commuter traffic bound for the Grenoble metropolitan area, and the station works as an interchange for passengers moving between the communities of the Isère plain and the regional capitals on either side. Its role within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regional network is functional rather than prominent, but the junction makes it a fixed point in timetables across this industrialised corner of the French Alpine foothills. Moirans stands near 45.32° N, 5.58° E, north-west of Grenoble, and operates on Europe/Paris time.

Moirans is a modest regional station with a waiting room, ticket machines, and bicycle parking. There is no staffed luggage storage at the station, so passengers with heavy bags should plan to store them at Grenoble, which has full facilities.

Moirans is within easy reach of the Chartreuse and Vercors massifs by car, but rail travellers heading to the Isère ski resorts should continue to Grenoble and take a dedicated ski bus from there. Grenoble serves as the main hub for connections to Alpe d'Huez, les Deux Alpes, and Chamrousse.
