Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Roumont-sur-Ourthe

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Roumont-sur-Ourthe

The route covers 133 km (83 miles) and normally takes around 1 h 27 m. You leave the flat Brussels region behind and head south-east into the Belgian Ardennes, where the roads become more winding and the landscape greener and hillier. The last stretch runs on smaller regional roads, so the final part of the trip is slower than the motorway section.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in winter, when snow and ice can slow traffic in the Ardennes. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make, it is wise to plan a comfortable buffer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you pick depends on how many people and how much luggage are travelling.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and groups of friends with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or groups with extra bags, sports gear or walking equipment.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for bigger parties such as wedding guests, company events, clubs and organised tours heading to the Ardennes.

If you are unsure, choose the next size up when you carry bulky items such as bicycles or hiking gear, since luggage space is what fills up first.

About Roumont-sur-Ourthe

Roumont-sur-Ourthe is a small village in the Walloon Ardennes, a region known for forests, rivers and quiet countryside. It is the kind of place people visit for peace, walking and cycling rather than for sightseeing in a big town. Services in the village itself are limited, so it is worth arranging food, accommodation and onward plans before you arrive. A private transfer is a practical way to get here, since the village lies well off the main international transport routes and the journey is direct from the airport to your door.
