Sansicario & Cesana Ski Facts
Claviere Ski Facts
|
- Vast skiing area with something for all abilities
- Superb snow record
- Traditional Italian hospitality
At the heart of the Milky Way ski area, Sansicario is the ideal resort for groups of mixed abilities. With an abundance of beginners and intermediate slopes, plus plenty for the advanced skier, it is no wonder the area was chosen to host the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Built in the 1970's, Sansicario is the most modern of the Milky Way resorts, but this does not detract from its appeal and there is no shortage of traditional Italian hospitality.
Cesana sits right in the centre of the Milky Way and is a typical Alpine style village where you will find shops, cafes, restaurants and Pizzerias.
Its traffic-free centre adds to its appeal for school groups.
Claviere
The Hannibal passage with elephants through the Moncenisio pass is very famous. This road remained a simple mule-track during the Middle Ages until the Napoleonic period. Here was born the village of Claviere.
The characteristic mountain village architecture of Claviere is a charming blend of old and new, set amidst breathtaking scenery, the locals claim it has the best snow conditions in the Milky Way.
Claviere is a relaxed resort with friendly hospitable residents on the border with France and boasts a fantastic 400km of ski runs in the Milky Way area connecting Claviere and neighbouring Montgenèvre in France, groups will have a Montilune lift pass which covers Claviere & Cesanas and can opt to extend their lift pass to cover Montgenèvre or the Italian Milky Way.
