The runs at the resort were uncrowded and at several times throughout the day you could be the only person on the piste. There are some cracking reds to keep the inters happy for a few days and some easier reds that run into blues for the beginners or 1 to 2 weekers. Montgenevre is immediately next to the resort and has some amazing sweeping runs that can be easy or very challenging depending on your needs with south facing slopes for the colder mornings and north facing slopes for the warmer afternoons. The black run that comes back into Claviere is immense and well worth hitting a few times. (I would, however, say it is noticeably more expensive to eat and drink on this side of the border). Sestriere on the other side of the mountain is readily accessible and has some fantastic skiing too with massively long reds and some real short racing ones. Boarders are better getting the chair lift across or face a 10 minute walk on a really flat section that joins the resort.
I am seriously considering taking my now 7 year old and my 5 year old daughters back to Claviere this year.
