I haven't found any bus timetables from Orelle to Oulx on the net but
according to http://www.autocars-rignon.com/ he would need to leave Oulx
at 13.05 in order to get a bus onward from Briançon to Serre Che,
otherwise he could hitch a lift or get a taxi for the last leg from
Briançon. Certainly skiing from Méribel to Orelle beats sitting in a
train any day.

This can't be right. Briancon is *part* of the Serre Che ski area, and there
are ski buses linking all the lifts until well after the lifts are closed.
Anyway, given the density of traffic in the valley, it shouldn't be too
difficult to hitch a lift from Briancon to whetever Serre Che village you
are trying to get to.
