Claviere is the quieter of the towns in the Via Lattea (Milky Way) ski area, which it shares with Sestriere, Sauze d’Oulx, Cesana-Sansicario and Montgenèvre across the border in France. The high altitude means wonderful snow conditions throughout the season and the ski area has a great variety of cruising blue runs and steeper reds above the treeline. The village itself exudes Italian tradition and has a small selection of locally-run bars and restaurants to choose from. Claviere is the perfect place for families and mixed ability groups looking for an authentic ski holiday in a crowd-free town with access to a vast and varied ski area.
