We stayed here over christmas 2007 with out two young children who were new to skiing.
The station is small and mostly green and blue runs, the ESF instructors were really good, and as the slopes weren't at all crowded, making it really easy for the the kids to pick it up.
The resort is between Chatel and Mozine (20-25 minutes in either direction) so more advanced slopes were close by later on in the week.
I would definately recommend this to families who want to be based somewhere away from the crowds but have them accessible to them. 5stars!
