Claviere Ski Map
Clavière is a charming border village ski resort in the Via Lattea (Milky Way) ski area, sitting right on the edge between Italy and France. It offers a quieter, more traditional alternative to the larger nearby hubs, with tree-lined slopes and a relaxed alpine atmosphere. Because of its position at the far western end of the ski network, it also acts as a key gateway into France via Montgenèvre, making it feel wonderfully international for such a small resort.
What makes Clavière especially appealing is its easy-going terrain and uncrowded pistes. The skiing here is smooth and accessible, with plenty of gentle runs that are ideal for beginners and families, while intermediates can enjoy linked cruising routes across the border. It’s not about steep extremes or massive vertical drops, but about relaxed skiing, scenic surroundings, and seamless access into the wider Via Lattea system.
