Discover the latest Meribel snow conditions
Méribel heads into the middle of March with the mountains still looking properly wintry across much of the Three Valleys. The forests around the village remain well covered and the higher slopes towards Tougnète, Saulire and Mont Vallon are carrying a solid base. With the spring sunshine beginning to appear more regularly the resort feels lively again, but the pistes remain in good condition and the wider ski area continues to offer dependable skiing.
Current snow depths are around 85 to 100 cm at resort level around 1450 metres, with between 170 and 220 cm reported on the upper slopes above 2500 metres, particularly around the Mont Vallon sector at 2952 metres. A small refresh of around 5 cm has fallen on the upper mountain over the past few days which has helped improve the surface on exposed slopes while the deeper base remains stable.
Temperatures have generally ranged from minus 8 to minus 3 degrees on the highest slopes and between minus 1 and plus 6 degrees around the village depending on sunshine. The freezing level has been moving between roughly 1800 and 2200 metres during the day but drops overnight which allows the pistes to refreeze and groom well. Winds have been mostly light across the ski area with occasional moderate gusts on the highest ridges.
On piste, the best skiing continues to be found above 2000 metres where the snow remains firm and consistent for much of the day. The slopes around Mont Vallon and the higher connections towards Val Thorens are holding particularly well and offer reliable conditions from morning into the afternoon. Lower runs back through the trees towards Méribel village ski best earlier in the day before softening slightly in sunnier conditions.
The outlook for the coming days suggests a mixture of sunshine and passing cloud with temperatures slowly edging upwards as the week progresses. There is a small chance of light snowfall on the highest slopes later in the week, although any accumulations are likely to be modest. Overnight cooling should continue to help preserve the snowpack across the upper mountain where conditions remain strongest.
Méribel continues to host a range of village events and mountain activities through March including live music, family entertainment and après ski gatherings across the resort centre. With slightly quieter slopes following the peak holiday weeks it remains a great time to explore the wider Three Valleys ski area.
Weather outlook as of: 16 March 2026. As I am sure you are aware, accurately forecasting weather more than two or three days ahead in the mountains is notoriously tricky. If there is a significant change we will update this section before the next full weekly snow report.
Méribel is skiing best above 2000 metres where snow depth and surface quality remain most reliable, particularly around the Mont Vallon sector and the higher links across the Three Valleys. Early starts will offer the most consistent conditions on lower slopes before any afternoon softening. With a solid base still in place, the resort continues to deliver enjoyable spring skiing.

Playing with the camera, we couldn't help but find this view charming - a picture postcard view of what the best of Meribel can offer. Chocolate box chalets, tree-line, and easily accessible pistes with fantastic snow coverage. Tempted? Who wouldn't be.
