Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ovifat

The drive from Brussels Airport to Ovifat

Ovifat lies 144 km (90 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes around 1 h 41 m. The route leaves the Brussels area and heads southeast into the Ardennes and the east of Belgium, with the last stretch on smaller roads through a hilly, wooded landscape. Ovifat is not a high-volume destination, so this transfer is arranged on request, just like any other route. Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels. In winter, snow or fog on the higher ground near the High Fens can also slow the final part of the trip.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples and small families will find a private taxi the simplest option, with space for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers depending on the vehicle. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8 or 16 seats, which suits a group of friends, an extended family or a team travelling with luggage. For bigger groups, minibuses with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats are available, so an entire tour group or event party can travel together in a single vehicle. Whatever the group size, please count the suitcases and any bulky items such as skis before you choose.

About Ovifat

Ovifat is a small village in the municipality of Waimes, in the province of Liège, in the German-speaking and French-speaking borderlands of eastern Belgium. It sits close to the High Fens (Hautes Fagnes), a protected upland nature area known for walking trails and open moorland. Visitors usually come for hiking, fresh air and quiet, and in cold winters for the chance of snow. Facilities in the village itself are limited, so it is worth confirming your exact address with your host before you travel.
