Stade des Alpes
Stadium Multi-use Grenoble stadium hosting football and rugby
Grenoble’s Stade des Alpes stages football and rugby matches and occasional events, set against the Belledonne and Chartreuse foothills; match days bring local supporters and mountain views.
Stade des Alpes is a modern multi-use stadium in Grenoble, France, completed in the early 2010s. It serves as the main venue for the city’s professional football and rugby fixtures.
Spectators attend domestic football and rugby matches, where seating and sightlines are arranged around a natural-grass playing surface. The stadium’s scale and facilities also allow it to host occasional concerts and civic events.
Built to replace older stadium facilities in Grenoble, the venue opened in the early 2010s as part of a city sports infrastructure upgrade. It has since been the principal stadium for local teams and regional sports events.
The stadium sits within Grenoble in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, to the west of the city center and accessible by local transport links and road routes.
- Capacity and opening period: Holds a capacity of roughly 20,000 and opened in the early 2010s, replacing older local stadium facilities.
- Primary uses: Hosts both football and rugby matches and is the home ground for local Grenoble teams in those sports.
