Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Botrange

Meeting Point at Brussels Zaventem Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Botrange

Botrange lies 144 km (90 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes 1 h 36 m. The route leads east across Belgium and finishes in the uplands of the Liège province, where the landscape becomes more open and the weather changes quickly. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush around Brussels. In winter, snow, ice or fog on the High Fens can slow the last stretch. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver will plan the journey for the conditions on the day.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The Botrange area is popular with hikers, cross-country skiers and cyclists, so luggage and sports gear are worth considering when you book.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for a group of friends or a family with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: for club trips, larger families and small organised groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for school groups, associations and larger parties travelling together.

With a longer ride of about an hour and a half, choose a vehicle with some spare room rather than filling every seat.

About Botrange

Botrange is the highest point in Belgium, at about 694 metres. It sits within the High Fens (Hautes Fagnes) nature area, a landscape of moorland, boardwalk trails and wide skies. Visitors come mainly for walking in summer and autumn, and for cross-country skiing when there is enough snow. The area is quiet and small-scale, so it is best to confirm your exact drop-off address with your driver before arrival.
