Or followMont De La Chambre (signposted only to Les Menuires, so that puts off a lot of people...) then turn left at Alpage Mountain Restaurant.

How long would you estimate this takes for an intermediate? each way? thanks

@garfmiller, lots of variables but a couple of hours should be enough for average intermediates.
Have done it there and back in 3 hours. A guy said, ‘I’ve never been to Val T, can I come with you two?’ So he did. As soon as we touched Val T, he said ‘Thanks, I’ve got to get back to 1650 for lunch  So we led him back too.
Ideally, get first lift. In Val T get over the top and down t’other side (Orelle) on the lovely blue and reds. Back over and have an hour or so around Val T before setting off back.

@garfmiller, difficult to say, because "intermediate" can cover a vast range of abilities, from those who ski mainly blues with the occasional red, relatively slowly and with frequent stops, to those who ski fast almost non-stop anywhere on piste. And it will also depend on how busy the resort is.
Some will comfortably do the round trip in under 3 hours but others might struggle to complete it in a day.
