On the slopes
Claviere offers a series of snow-sure slopes before you even approach the rest of the 400 km of skiable terrain the Milky Way ski area delivers. The standard lift pass is the 6-day Montiluna lift pass. This pass covers approximately 90 km of skiing in Cesana and Claviere, as well as 2 days in Montgenevre (France) and 1-day access to the entire Italian section of the Milky Way ski area. As such, groups on a school ski to Claviere have access to numerous options available to enjoy a greater choice of ski runs. The nursery slopes on the outskirts of the village promise sunshine and forgiving descents, and once your new skiers grow in confidence, you’ll find an innumerate amount of interlinking wide blues and testing reds, providing the perfect pistes for progression. From high, open runs to lower, wooded trails, there are a variety of runs to satisfy the most seasoned of skiers and snowboarders.

Après-ski
Claviere’s traditional setting provides the perfect backdrop to a friendly après-ski scene in the form of pizzerias, ice-skating and bowling. If you’re looking for a livelier experience as the darkness falls then a short hop across the border to Montgenèvre provides a unique snow-shoeing environment and exhilarating luge ride.
