Located on the border between Italy and France, at a height of 1750 meters, Claviere became part of the Italian territory, and consequently Piedmontese, in 1715. Claviere has very ancient origins and is even mentioned by Petrarch in an ode he wrote in 1553 to enhance some Italian beauties. It is only 2 km from the Montgenevre and from here you can admire the characteristic commemorative obelisk dedicated to the road that connects Italy to France for centuries.

The geographical position has allowed the country to acquire more and more notoriety, in fact it guarantees wonderful slopes to practice skiing in winter and lots of green for long walks in summer. Right here was born one of the most beautiful nine-hole golf courses in Piedmont that crosses the border between Italy and France. Summer Claviere offers trips in the middle of the pine and larch woods or more challenging excursions to the important peaks that surround it. It is possible to practice mountain biking, hiking, tennis and horse riding immersed in beautiful corners of nature.
