The slopes
Beginners
The nursery slopes are located near the centre of the resort and beginners soon move up with the 4-seater La Coche chairlift where a broad blue run will take you back down into Claviere.
Intermediates
The Milky Way offers some great skiing for intermediates. From the top of Claviere intermediates have the option to ski back down to Claviere or take the link over to Sansicario opening up the rest of the glorious Italian Milky Way ski area.
Advanced
Some great skiing for better skiers can be found by taking the 4-seater Col Boeuf chairlift from the bottom of Claviere. This gives a couple of good options from getting some speed up and racing back down the black 99 into Claviere to cutting across the red 99 which is the run used to link Claviere with Montgènevre in France.
Snowboarding
Boarders will find some fun in Claviere with over 250 miles of rideable terrain in the Milky Way circuit. Freeriders will enjoy the powder and freestylers have loads of natural terrain to launch off as well a new mini board park in Sagnalonga.
