Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to La Roche-en-Ardenne

The drive from Brussels Airport to La Roche-en-Ardenne

The transfer covers 128 km (80 miles) and typically takes 1 h 27 m. The route leaves the Brussels area and continues south-east into the Ardennes, where the roads become more winding as you approach the Ourthe valley. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other. Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in winter, when the Ardennes can see rain, fog or snow that slows the last stretch.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families usually fit comfortably in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties heading to a holiday house or a group stay can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone travels together in a single vehicle. If you are bringing hiking gear, bicycles or several large suitcases, pick the next size up so there is room for everything.
