Three valleys? We thought it was very beginner friendly last year.

I was in the same situation last year and we went to Montgenevre. Very cute, cheap lift pass and fast inexpensive transfer from Turin. Good beginner slopes, and if you get bored you can head over the border to Sestriere or Sauze d'Oulx as it's all interconnected.
All in (other than food) it ran us about £650 each (hire/accom/flights/transfer/ski pass). -
I always recommend Levi in Finland as an alternative for beginners. Depends if there is enough there to keep the experienced skiers happy. Nice little resort.

When taking someone skiing the first time (especially a partner) I’d recommend looking for somewhere with a traditional village with something to do during the daytime other than skiinge. A couple hours hours doing something else (a swim for example) is a good break from the pressure of learning all the time.

I have always thought Deux Alpes is great for beginners. Nursery slopes are way up out of the resort so have good snow. Then you’ve got loads of lovely wide blues for building your confidence.
Cable car back down at the end of the day unless you’re a VERY fast learner.

I'm looking for recommendations for somewhere to go in the alps. Thinking Jan or Feb and somewhere with plenty of beginner slopes as it will be my partner's first time skiing. Low cost (relative) would be ideal.
I've looked at Morzine and flights, hire and lift pass all seem very reasonable but accomodation looks a bit pricey.
