Fergus, If you can ski with it then you can ski to VT no worries at all 
You're bound to ski CVL and VT during your Meribel week anyway so you can work out best route with rucksack before attempting.
Have a great time.

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

If the rucksac is too heavy then split it and do two trips. Both towns are a long way up their valleys so a taxi ride will be long and costly. You will have already paid for a lift pass.

Did this exact same things last year with my cousin, except he went from VT to Courcheval, he had a large bag and I carried his other pair of skis.
You'll get some looks, but its definitely cheaper than a taxi.

Maybe rope in a few extra people to carry stuff for you. You could buy them a drink when you get there.

Fergus, as has been mentioned above: to get from Meribel to Val Thorens you have to go all the way down to Moutiers and up again.
Takes a good hour and a bit, and costs a fortune. See this map.
Ask BernardC - he's expert at this journey

Skiing with a heavy rucksack is a laugh as yopu lose a lot of control in the turns and your stopping distance shoots up

Ah, okay dokay, skiing it is.
Spliting it into two journeys would make sense, but I'll need to see how the leaving/arival times work out for the 2 places of accomodation.
Thanks for that map Jonpim,

Fergus, bribe a nice girl in a bar in Meribel to keep an eye on it for you for a couple of hours. You've got a week to work on it.

if you were a generous tipper and hadn't blocked your wash basin with vomit more than once during the week.
