You've already been once! Why go again?? I skied it from Sestriere/Mongenevre and remember it for being completely unmemorable. If you are considering that area why not Serre Chevalier? Seriously underated when conditions are right.

mugen, I like Montgenevre and Claviere a lot. But Serre Chevalier down the road is on a different scale on so many levels. I'd say Claviere has some good skiing, but the majority of it is rather average as mentioned. But there are some fantastic pistes and Montgenevre has a good variety and a lot more of them.
They are both charming with some great food in Italy. The skiing is a bit limited for a good intermediate skiier staying that side of the Via Lattea unless you're after off piste. But none the less there is some good skiing and its rarther snowsure at the same time being a suntrap.
Both Montgenevre and Claviere are both very quiet in the evenings, but if a quiet beer in the evening is what you're after then it wouldn't be a problem.
I'd say your choice is:
A week in Serre Chevalier with a day in Claviere and Montgenenvre for nostalgia.
or
A week in Claviere/Montgenevre and a day in Serre Chevalier.
Depends on your priorities. Quantity and quality of skiing or a good old bit of nostalgia and great pasta dishes? Or not have both stay in Serre Chevalier and go to Claviere for the day.

FAQ
's who love the place. I was really disappointed in the infrastructure, which improved immensely as soon as you crossed the border into France. Think the fact that the website is crap is a fair indication of the place.
) Hotel Claviere - was probably grand when last done up in 1927
