Most weekends there's a handful of Interski instructors doing a very similar trip. Guys who are based in 3Vs or EK training or working and doing odd weeks teaching in Aosta valley (if it was mid-Feb or early April I'd have been able to help you out). If you are able to find and post on the Interski facebook page, you may get lucky and manage to cadge a lift in exchange for a bit of petrol money...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Hi @abiwood,
Although it's a bit of a long-way-round I think that the easiest option would be to book a coach from Comayeur to Geneva airport and then from Geneva to courcheval. There are loads of companies that do options but, for example, http://www.aostaexpress.com for the first leg and www.altibus.com for the second leg are both cheap options.
Another option which is shorter distance-wise although probably more complicated for connections would be bus to chamonix, train to moutiers (change in albertville) and then bus to courcheval.

... La Thuile, ski over to la Rosiere, and bus to Bourg St Maurice, then bus to Moutier, then bus up. You'd have to put your suitcase on a sled behind you though

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Train Chamonix to Moutiers? @Snow and Sunshine, I can't believe that's faster than via Geneva, even if a shorter journey.

Brilliant @OliC, and I know people who do the La Thuile / La Ros part. But you have to be sure the weather permits you to cross over. Why not a backpack and travel light instead of towing a suitcase... The bus from the bottom lift of La Ros is free but only runs about 4-5 times a day so be prepared to hitch @abiwood, if you miss it. And of course from BSM, why not buy a day pas and ski across Les Arcs / Vanoise Express / La Plagne to Champagny. Then taxi / bus / hitch to Courchevel.
Take care wth the Milk Tray.
