Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ave (Rochefort)

The Drive from Zaventem to Ave (Rochefort)

The route covers 111 km (69 miles) and typically takes 1 h 11 m. You leave the Brussels ring area first, then continue south into Wallonia and the quieter roads of the Ardennes foothills. Most of the journey is on main roads, with the final stretch passing through smaller villages.

Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush around Brussels, or in poor winter weather, when the rural roads near the destination can be slower. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so you can arrange it ahead of time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties are well served by a private taxi, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Four people with luggage will be more comfortable if they check the boot space beforehand and choose accordingly.

For families, friends travelling together or small business groups, a private minibus with 8 seats is the next step up. Larger parties can choose minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which suits wedding guests, tour groups and company outings heading to the Rochefort area together without splitting into several cars.

About Ave (Rochefort)

Ave lies in the Rochefort area in the province of Namur, in the green and hilly Famenne-Ardenne region of southern Belgium. The surroundings are rural, with woodland, limestone landscapes and the Lesse valley nearby. It is a popular base for walking, cycling, kayaking and exploring caves, including the well-known sites around Han-sur-Lesse. Expect a calm village setting rather than a busy town centre, so it helps to give your driver the exact address of your accommodation.
