Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Viroinval

The drive from Zaventem to Viroinval

The route covers 123 km (77 miles) and typically takes 1 h 33 m. That puts Viroinval at the far southern edge of Belgium, so this is a longer transfer than most airport runs. Viroinval is booked less often than the big city routes, but it is available on request like any other destination. Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, since the first stretch out of the capital region is where delays usually happen. After that, the road gets quieter and the landscape turns greener and more rural as you head south.

Choosing the right vehicle

Small groups are best served by a private taxi, with one option for up to 3 passengers and another for up to 4. For families with more luggage or groups of up to 8, a private minibus with 8 seats gives you more room. Larger parties such as hiking clubs, wedding guests or company outings can use minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Since the trip takes a good hour and a half, it helps to pick a vehicle with a little spare space rather than one that is filled to the last seat.

About Viroinval

Viroinval is a municipality in the province of Namur, in Wallonia, close to the French border. It was formed from several villages along the Viroin valley, including Nismes, Treignes and Olloy-sur-Viroin. The area belongs to the Viroin-Hermeton nature park and is known for walking, cycling and quiet countryside. Treignes is also known for its heritage steam railway, which draws visitors in the warmer months. If you are staying in a village rather than at a main address, send your driver the full street name in advance, as rural roads can be hard to find.
