Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Stavelot

The Drive from Charleroi to Stavelot

The transfer covers 146 km (91 miles) and usually takes around 1 h 35 m. The route leaves the Charleroi area and heads east through Wallonia, with the final stretch running into the hills of the Ardennes. Stavelot is not a route many travellers book, so your driver will plan the journey for you. Allow extra time in winter, when snow or fog can slow traffic in the Ardennes, and during busy holiday weekends or racing events in the region.

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without wandering around the terminal.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families are well served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you have several suitcases, ski gear or hiking equipment, the 4-passenger taxi or an 8-seat minibus gives you more room. Groups of friends, wedding parties and club outings can choose from minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so the vehicle can be matched to your exact headcount.

Stavelot as a Destination

Stavelot is a small town in the province of Liège, in the eastern Ardennes. It is known for its old abbey, which now houses museums, and for the Laetare carnival with its white-clad Blancs-Moussis. The town is also close to the Spa-Francorchamps motor racing circuit, and the surrounding countryside suits walking and cycling. It makes a convenient base for exploring the High Fens and the Amblève valley.

Where to Stay Nearby

Stavelot has mainly small guesthouses and holiday rentals. For a wider choice of long-established hotels, the nearby spa town of Spa is a good alternative:

• Radisson Blu Palace Hotel in Spa, a large hotel in the centre of town
• Hôtel Balmoral in Spa, a traditional hotel set on a hillside above the town
• Hôtel Manoir de Lébioles in Lébioles, near Spa, a country-house style hotel

Give your driver the full address of your accommodation when booking, so the drop-off goes smoothly.
