kabby, there is some info on the Serre Chevalier website for transfers, http://www.serre-chevalier.com/Transport . As for accomodation it will depend on where your son is working as to what your options are.

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

Finding your way out of Turin can be a bit stressful as I recall (I got horribly lost and ended up in the city centre - avoid this at all costs!), but then it's dead easy and well signed.
I seem to remember following signs like this: Frejus tunnel to get out of Turin, even though you won't actually be going through it, then Oulx, Montgenevre, Briancon.
It was ages ago this, though. Apologies for any inaccuracies.
And I'm assuming you mean driving!

kabby, paulio, roads have recently been sorted out, thanks to the Olympics. It is easier to get out of the airport and on to the correct road now.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yes! Avoid the Frejus Tunnel! Not that there is anything particularly wrong with it as tunnels go. And, having missed the turning to Oulx and Montgenevre, I saw the tunnel twice, quickly and expensively
The journey (without detour) takes under 2 hours by car (I managed 1.5 on the return). There are a couple of companies that do transfers, but I found them really expensive when looking a few weeks ago. You can get a train to Briancon I believe, and only need to suss out the bus from the airport to the train station. Or hire a car, of course - similar cost to the transfers, but the benefit of freedom and not feeling quite so fleeced.
