I skied here in January this year and it was beautiful. There are several beginner/early intermediate runs. We stayed in Thyon-les-Collons at Hotel Cambuse's amazing chalet in the woods. You use the hotel's skiroom and walk across from there right to a T-bar lift. There is also a car park there and a liftpass office so you can get straight on the slopes. The slopes were so quiet. No queues, very peaceful. A lovely place to ski. I imagine Thyon 2000 would be ideal for beginners as you don't have to get on a draglift to get to the slopes and it's very gentle and at a good altitude for snow. I would definitely consider staying there. It would be nice to have more chairlifts in the area. You can ski some long red runs down to Mayen-de-L'Ours and Veysonnaz, so there is something for everyone.
