Clermont were ahead for the first time early in the second half as Wesley Fofana made the most of a quick break by the hosts, powering down the sideline to score the only try of the match.
Owen Farrell took over kicking duties for Saracens to keep the scores close, but Brock James kicked three more points late on to seal the win for the hosts.
The French side will face either Toulon or Leinster in the final at Twickenham next month.
