Chalet In Serre Chevalier & Getting there from Meribel

Can anybody recommend a self-catering chalet in Serre Chevalier? 7 of us
for the week commencing 22/1/05. One of our group has to get there from
Meribel and his plan is to ski over the Val Thorens (with his clothing etc
in a big rucksack) and take the bubble down to Orelle. I'd rather him than
me but he's young(ish), fit and a good skier. It seems that he can get a
bus or train to Oulx and from there get to S/Chev on a bus or taxi via
Cesana and the Montgenevre pass. Any better ideas?
