boredsurfin,
Up Peisey chair. At top go left and follow La Foret runto Le Derby Chair (new chair this year replaces Plan Bois). Top of that go left and take Reeches red run to Transarc. At top of Transarc take middle red and follow signs for Arc 2000 in the middle of the bowl. Aim for Lanchettes chair. Top of Lanchettes chair go left and ski for about 5km.

Breaking it down. All approx of course   The waits for mrsfatcontroller can be longer 
Peisey Chair - 7 mins?
At top wait for mrsfatcontroller to get herself ready, gloves, boots tightened, scarf - 17 mins 
Ski to Derby Chair - 7 mins
Derby Chair - 7-10 mins
Wait for again at top of Derby for mrsfatcontroller to get herself ready, gloves, boots tightened, scarf - 17 mins
Ski to Transarc - 8 mins
Transarc -15 mins
Top Transarc wait for again for mrsfatcontroller to get herself ready, gloves, boots tightened, scarf - 17 mins
Ski to Lanchettes - 15 mins tops
Lanchettes Chair 8 - 10 mins
Top Lanchettes wait for again for mrsfatcontroller to get herself ready, gloves, boots tightened, scarf - 17 mins
Ski to Villaroger 15 -20 mins. The speed of this section will depend your ability to douse your burning thighs with water whilke skiing or if you have to stop and cry  
Be warned the lifts outs of Villariger are slow. Takes a good 20 mins to get back up to top of Lanchettes.

If there is a big queue for the middle station of the TransArc is might be quicker to take the Grand Renard chair (located just behind the TransArc station) then the 'Dents du Peigne' and 'Plan' pistes to Arc 2000 and the Lanchettes chair.
I'd guess about an hour from Peisey to Villaroger if lift queues aren't too bad.

rob@rar, Wow, a new way over the top, missed that one

rob@rar, I agree - I like the Grand Renard chair - quieter & more dramatic scenary than the bubble

The only problem is that the Gd Renard chair doesn't seem to run all the time. Don't know if it breaks down a lot (it's an old 3-seater) or they don't bother to run it if it's quiet.

thefatcontroller, Clues only, its a free beginners lift over a Nursery area, it just happens to give enough height to get across to the drag lift I mentioned elsewhere ........
