Claviere

Q: Can I ski into France from Claviere?

Yes, without noticing. The lifts connect directly with Montgenèvre and the border runs through the ski area, so you cross it several times a day; the international Via Lattea pass covers both sides, while the Italian-only pass stops at the frontier. For a family it is the quietest base in the whole area, and Oulx has the nearest railway station.

Claviere is a small village right on the French border, and its lifts connect directly with Montgenèvre on the other side — the frontier runs through the ski area, and you cross it several times a day without noticing.

It is the smallest and quietest of the Via Lattea bases, which for a family is usually a feature.
