Review & FAQ:
The Grenoble cable car was built during 1934 and was the first urban cable car in the city. It offers a birds-eye view of the city while taking passengers to the fortress of La Bastille. Originally it only had two 12-sided cable cars big enough to hold 15 people. One car headed up the mountain while the other simultaneously headed down. In 1951, these two cable cars got replaced with glass boxes that could accommodate 21 people. Then in 1976, a lower station was added with spherical, or ‘bubble’ shaped cabins. Today, there are two sets of five ‘ bubbles’ that carry up to six people.
