Hi, I'd recommend Mark Warner in Les deux alpes.......
Upside;
Really good location - ski in ski out
Kids ski school 100mtrs below the hotel
Ski hire & lift passes in the hotel
Hotel etc pretty good too, service & food better than average.

We've done the last 2 years there with absolute beginner (wife) and 2 kids (now 6 & 11) who got the bug after 1 week and have progressed really well in and out of ski school.

Downside;
Long boring green back to resort from best slopes - most others to resort are black.....I'd suggest gondola back down for beginers although the Valentine is ok so long as it's not too busy at the end of the day.
Price at Xmas with MW will be steep although we have paid c£500 HB for wk 2 January for the last two years
Budget trip for young couple

Hi Sami, I got a last minute deal with markwarner for 2nd week in Jan at Les Deux Alpes for £400 half board from Edinburgh..............fantastic snow, great hotel & food, ski hosting brilliant, resort a bit quiet but we were there for the snow.
Went back again in Feb and hopefully again this winter!
