There appears to be a fair amount of error in reviews from day trippers to Montgenevre and Claviere. I have skied in both for the last 20 years and 11 years with my kids.

In the run up to 2006 Olympics new lifts were introduced and then again in 2009 and other fine tuning is done most years. Rarely gets that busy.

To get to Claviere you go up TS Rocher de L'aigle and down the black/red to Gimont. To get back to MTG you go all the way down to Claviere then up Col Boeuf. Best to pick a good day and snow. Every year we see the English school kids walking along the golf course back to Claviere complaining. Guys, its only maintained for Nordic walking, its not actually a ski route.

Best to have lunch in Italy, or you need to go right into MTG.

We like to put our effort into skiing not walking. So parking the boot of the car directly onto the ski slope at the French boarder control for free is ideal.

6 day pass gives you a day in another Via Latte resort and potentially another on the French side; check this as MTG's website is wrong. Only at some times do the Communes agreed to it.
