How did you find it? I think you were there the same week I was in Serre Che, which is only a matter of miles away. Did you do MontGenevre or manage to ski Sauze and Sestriere as well?
Claviere seems to be quite a good place to base yourself in terms of whats around locally.
The snow in Serre Che and MontG was excellent when we were there.

Have to say it was one of the best skiing holidays I've had - Claviere is ideal to base yourself in for the Milky Way, not the liveliest of resorts but met some good people and entertained ourselves. Saying that we didn't make it over to Sauze but we did have a couple of days in Montgenevre. The far side of the MW is too far to do on skis in a day, having a car would have been ideal for venturing further into the Italian MW. Most people we spoke to managed Sestiere but no further.

The snow was AMAZING, absolutely perfect every day, we had 2 days of snow and the rest of the week were blue sky days. I even treated myself to some new skis in resort and gave them a good road test and was skiing like Chemmy Alcot by the end of the week :D

How was SC?

Serre Che was superb. Weather-wise, exactly the same as you - I expect we were actually skiing under the same cloud that was dumping down on us on Wednesday!
I'd totally recommend the place to ski, but not the hotel! See my report on the France section.

When I was in Sauze, we used to ski to Sestriere and Sansciario, but took organised coach trips to MontG as its too far to ski and back in a day to be honest.

Glad you liked it.

Lots of new names signed up over past couple of days............hello to one and all :D
