Claviere

Italy

Piemonte

The best-value lunch on either side of the Franco-Italian border

Is Claviere right for you?

  • The smallest and most underrated of the Italian Via Lattea villages
  • Effectively a satellite of Montgenèvre, giving easy access into France
  • Prices noticeably lower than its bigger Via Lattea neighbours
  • A compact, unassuming village centre with real character
  • Heads up: The facilities are modest, so don't expect a big choice of restaurants or shops on site.
