Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Bertogne

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks at Brussels South Charleroi Airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage.

The Drive from Charleroi to Bertogne

Bertogne lies 121 km (76 miles) from the airport, and the trip typically takes 1 h 20 m. The route leads south-east through Wallonia and ends in the Ardennes, where roads get quieter and more winding as you approach the village. Allow some extra time in winter, when snow, ice or fog can slow traffic on the higher stretches, and during weekday rush hours. If you have a connection to catch on the way back, plan a generous buffer before your flight.

This is a route that is booked less often, but it is available on request like any other. A private transfer means no waiting for connections and no luggage to carry between stations, which matters in a rural area like this one.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For one to three passengers, a private taxi is the simple choice, and a second taxi option covers parties of up to four. Larger parties, such as families with luggage, hiking groups or wedding guests, can choose from minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size that matches your headcount plus luggage, and mention any bulky items such as bikes or hiking gear when you book.

Bertogne as a Destination

Bertogne is a small village in the province of Luxembourg, in the Belgian Ardennes. It is surrounded by forest and farmland and is known to many visitors for its connection to the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944-45, as the region sits right beside Bastogne. Walking, cycling and quiet countryside stays are the main reasons people come.

Places to Stay Nearby

Accommodation within Bertogne itself is limited, so many visitors base themselves in nearby Bastogne, which has a longer-established hotel scene. Well-known options there include:

• Hôtel Lebrun, a long-running family hotel in the town centre
• Hôtel Le Collins, a central hotel near the main square
• Hôtel Melba, a traditional hotel also close to the centre

Give your driver the exact address of your accommodation when booking, since village and rural addresses can be hard to find without a precise location.
