It is about 5 minutes walk up the road from the Morris pub (Le Fornet direction) on the right hand side (or one stop on the Train Rouge from stop opposite the Morris). If you are taking the Snow Express you are likely to be dropped right outside the centre so no need to worry. Have a great time - i'm not sure I'm going to get out to the Val D UCPA centre this year  - I've been there every year for about the last 6. You're gonna have a great time I'm sure.

max.makinson, I'm staying there for the first time in March. I know its on the road to Le Fornet and on the bus route mentioned by sarep, but I believe you can easily walk to the village centre and snow front.
Let me know how you got on thanks.

You are totally right - very easy access to the side of the nursery slop is about 50m from the Centre, a spar shop a couple of minutes walk up the road (very handy for a bottle of wine to have with your dinner) and all the bars of Val D'Isere within easy *walking / sliding / stumbling distance for your evenings' entertainment - either down the main road or through the old village past the very pretty church. The centre's bar also boasts the cheapest beer prices in resort (happy hours excluded). It really is my favourite UCPA centre, the staff are great and it attracts a cosmopolitan mix of British and Swedish vistors as well as the regular french clients.
Hope you have a fab time. Do add a trip report when you get back and let us know how you got on.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

sarep, Sounds great thanks. I didn't think you could take booze back to the centre (refering to your bottle of wine).
How much is the beer? and what beer is it?
I've only ever been to Val d'Isere in the summer and it'll be my first time in a UCPA centre.
Cheers for the information

Never realised that you were able to take wine in at dinner, must remember that!

FAQ
Every time I've tried to work out how much the beer is I've got close enough to realise it is cheaper than non-happy hour in town, given up trying and got back to my beer.
