Visitor Reviews of Claviere

Skiing in Claviere is ideal for the beginner and intermediate. We have just arrived back from a weeks stay in the Merimonti Hotel where, I can say for a two star Hotel, the food was excellent and the staff very friendly. The rooms are basic but very clean.
The ski area is not very taxing if you're looking for adventure but I would like to advise that you get your own ski lift pass yourself as the holiday company’s in that area probably will sell you a pass that is limited. We were skiing on hard packed snow in Claviere and chose to ski the neighbouring resort of Montgenevre which we skied to from Claviere very easily. But Montgenevre is in France and the ski pass we had only gave us one days pass. A further 16.5 Euros a day had to be paid if you wanted to use the lifts in Montgenevre. At the ski pass station they will sell you the areas you want.
Depending on the snow conditions the Milky Way is accessed via Sanga-Longa and if there is a shortage of snow it's a long lift down and back up the other side. My advice is get a one day pass to the Milky Way to see if you can ski it ok.
