I have skied in Val Thorens twice now, and it's definitely ski to the door from pretty much anywhere in the resort. It depends what you are looking for. VT isn't particularly pretty, although I couldn't see anything wrong with it, and it does have a bit of a reputation for noisy drunks in the middle of the night in the centre of the resort, but we didn't hear anything. It is high altitude so you're pretty much guaranteed snow, and of course it connects up with the whole 3 valleys area so there is a huge area to ski.
I would think it was okay for young children - I saw plenty of them when we were there.
What sort of resort are you looking for, and for what price, and what time of year?

We are looking probably xmas to new year this year, probably budget accomodation really. We would like a large ski area as we cover some ground so three valleys is a good call.
