Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Malmédy

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks in Brussels South Charleroi Airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can head straight there after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from Charleroi to Malmédy

The route covers 144 km (90 miles) and typically takes 1 h 33 m. Most of the trip is on motorway before the road narrows towards the Ardennes and the east of Wallonia. The final stretch runs through hillier, more wooded country, so it is not a drive to rush. Allow extra time in winter, when snow and ice can slow traffic on the higher roads around Malmédy, and during the weekday rush hours around Liège. If you have a tight connection or an event waiting for you, plan a little margin.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, depending on how much luggage you carry. Groups that need more room can book a private minibus. Sizes run from 8 seats up to 64 seats, in steps of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64. This suits school trips, sports clubs, wedding parties and corporate groups heading to the area. Tell us your passenger count and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will assign a suitable vehicle.

About Malmédy

Malmédy is a small town in the province of Liège, in the Walloon part of Belgium close to the German border. It lies on the edge of the High Fens (Hautes Fagnes) nature area, which makes it a popular base for walking, cycling and weekends in the Ardennes. The town is well known for its annual carnival, the Cwarmê, and its historic centre is easy to explore on foot. The Spa-Francorchamps racing circuit is also in the surrounding region.
