Hi All Anybody have any idea how long it takes to drive from Val Thorens to Serre Chevalier on a Friday. I need to do the trip the Friday after Easter...
Do you have to drive? I looked at this for a friend recently - you can take the Cime De Caron cablecar and then the Orelle lift down the other side. Hitch or taxi to Modane, train to Oulx and then bus from the station to Briacon station.

I'm picking up somebody (with luggage) so driving is the most favoured.
Do you know how long would the 'James Bond' (over the mountains) journey take
James Bond would do it in an hour, and shag Hallie Berry and kill all the baddies on the way. But assuming that you are a mere mortal I guess 1/2 hour to hitch from Orelle to Modane, 90 mins for the train (I assume that you'd just miss one and they run every hour) and then the bus, which I believe takes about 90 mins. So I suppose driving looks like quite a good idea.

Mappy http://www.iti.fr/ says 2.5 hours to Briancon, 2 and 3/4 to Monnetier les Bains, both via Frejus tunnel. A little optimistic in my opinion - Of course it depends on how fast you drive...
