Sitting right on the French-Italian border at 1,760m, Claviere is a small, characterful village that provides access to one of the largest ski areas in Italy - the Via Lattea (Milky Way). From this quiet border village, you can ski across to Montgenèvre in France and connect to Sestriere, Sauze d'Oulx, and Sansicario, accessing over 400km of linked pistes. The village itself is traditional and compact, with a handful of hotels, restaurants, and a genuine Italian mountain atmosphere.

Claviere's own terrain features 7 lifts serving 46 marked runs climbing to 2,840m, with a vertical drop of nearly 1,500m. The terrain skews towards intermediate and advanced skiing, with long, sustained descents that reward good technique. The season runs from mid-December to mid-April, and the border location gives a unique cross-country skiing character.

What draws visitors to Claviere is the combination of a quiet, affordable village base with access to a vast ski area. While the bigger Via Lattea villages have more nightlife and infrastructure, Claviere provides a peaceful retreat at a lower price point. Check out Claviere ski deals to start planning your trip.
