Thank you Elizabeth B and boredsurfin, but we are keen to ski as much of the way as possible (Tom is not happy about the bus), and a significant part of how yummy these waffles are is the location. Similar waffles last year in Val d'Isere just didn't taste the same.

Jonpim, this is a fabulous mission you are planning - people just don't have adventures anymore  .
Who would you like to play Tom and yourself in Waffle Quest the movie??
CD.

chrisdavis, I was just thinking it would make a great title for a childs book 
In the same territory as 'James and the giant peach' as a title.

Megamum, I was leaning more towards It's a mad mad mad mad world, or The Great Race

Jonpim, I take it that they were waffles like these, and not crepes or galettes?
They're all great aren't they?

Jonpim, are you not in danger of a big let-down, when the fabulous waffles of recollection turn out to be, well, ordinary, really? Maybe the Waffle Myth is better than the Waffle Reality?

Just make sure you are getting the king of waffles, the Gaufre de Liège. A far superior beast to its inferior cousin, the frankly floppily disappointing, Gaufre de Bruxelles.

Did you go to the waffle place at Whistler (top of Crystal Chair on Blackcomb)? Pretty damn good waffles.

In the right territory yes, but this year the waffle man had gone and only rather tasteless toasted paninis were available.
And yes, Alastair Pink, we are talking real chunky yummy waffles.
For the quest, it is the bus that concerns me - anyone know how to find out the timetable?

Jonpim, I assume the waffles in the Crystal Lodge on Blackcomb mountain didn't live up to his expectations then?

Jonpim, I had waffles this year from the chalet du thorens and they were amaazing!
the paninis were revolting though.
Even though I cant help: Good luck in the journey! It will be worth it!!

Jonpim,
The waffles are great. The self service restaurant at the chalet also does great fresh pasta dishes cooked to order, and if you are a fan of european sausages their local savoyard sausage and chips is great value.
On the subject of the buses I think you will need to get 2 from Champagny to Courchevel changing at Bozel. It would be possible to get a bus to Brides les Bains and then take the 25 minute gondola to Meribel. This will put you one valley closer to Val Thorens.
Your biggest problem I should think is not getting there, it should be possible, it would be getting back. If you miss a connection, La Plagne will be an expensive taxi journey from any Les Trois Vallees resort or Champagny!

The waffles there are so good even Jack Bauer stops saving the world and eats there (no joke - I saw Kiefer in there once).

Guvnor, killjoy. Trekking from La Plagne to Val Thorens for a waffle sounds character-building to me.

As a Eurostar fan, I would suggest a taxi down to the station at Aime, train direct to St Pancras, National Express coach to Luton Airport, Easyjet flight to Geneva then Altibus or even a hire car should get get you to Val Thorens in about 3 hours......no?
