Claviere

Resort Overview

Claviere is a lovely old village with lots of character, doorstep skiing and exceptional convenience. This traditional ski resort is high and snow sure and there is plenty of skiing even for ski enthusiasts. On our ski holidays in Claviere, snowboarding is also a popular activity for many thanks to the great terrain on offer.

The picturesque Claviere ski resort in Italy is a little gem, you can walk from one end of the resort to the other in only 5mins. Claviere is one of our most popular destinations, and it continues to improve every year. As part of the Turin Olympic Games, there was a huge investment in the whole area. You'll find all the charm still intact but the improvements to the village and the developing relationship with neighbouring Montgenèvre have propelled Claviere into a different league.

On The Slopes

On your Claviere ski holiday the local skiing will be distinguished by delightful tree runs and your pass includes one free day on the Milky Way and one free day in Montgenevre ski resort, one of the biggest systems in the world. The Claviere ski runs are varied and attractive, curving through trees on the shoulders of the high divide between Italy and France. The snow record is first class.

For beginners on ski holidays, Claviere provides a pleasant, flat area in the village and an enormous blue run which starts above the trees and goes all the way back to the village. Intermediates have many choices including some adventurous semi off-piste down little paths which wind through trees and seem to go on forever. Advanced skiers have some good reds, some inspiring off-piste, and there's the Milky Way to explore.

Claviere's height (1760m) and exposed position on the top of a pass gives exceptional snow security. Claviere was actually one of Italy's first resorts and this history provides an attractive sense of ski tradition. One of the great things about Claviere ski holidays is the opportunity for skiers to enjoy the many traditional mountain restaurants which can be reached by all levels of skier. We also recommend the first class ski school.

Enjoy Claviere Snowboarding

When on ski holidays in Claviere, snowboarding is one activity that must be experienced! The terrain at Claviere is great for snowboarders as it offers enthusiastic snowboarders lots of narrow treeline runs which are a fantastic challenge to set yourself. Beginners and intermediates will find at the top is easier as the runs are longer and wider.

Off The Slopes
