Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Lahamaide

The Drive from CRL to Lahamaide

The route covers 85 km (53 miles) and typically takes about 58 minutes. Lahamaide lies in the rural west of Hainaut, so most of the journey is on motorway before you switch to quieter country roads for the final stretch. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late-afternoon rush, or in bad weather, as the roads around Charleroi and towards Mons and Tournai can slow down. The last part of the trip runs through narrow village roads, so your driver will take it at a relaxed pace.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For smaller parties, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There is a version for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers, which helps when you travel with a bit more luggage. Larger parties can choose from private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. These suit family gatherings, wedding guests, school trips and company outings heading to the area. Pick the size that matches your group plus luggage, and you will all arrive together at the same address.

About Lahamaide

Lahamaide is a small village in the municipality of Ellezelles, in the Walloon province of Hainaut. It sits in the green, hilly countryside of the Pays des Collines, close to the Flemish border. The setting suits walkers and cyclists, and the surrounding villages are known for their quiet landscapes. Because it is a small place, give your driver the full street address or a clear landmark in advance, so the final approach goes smoothly.
