Meribel Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Meribel snow conditions
Christmas week has arrived in Méribel and the resort feels settled into full winter mode. The village is busy, the mountains are holding their white cover well, and there is a steady rhythm to life on the slopes as holidaymakers arrive for the festive break. Early season snow has continued to build through December and there is a sense of confidence around conditions, especially higher up where the skiing has been consistent and reliable. It feels like a proper Christmas week in the mountains, with cold air, busy lifts, and a good base beneath the skis.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths across the Méribel ski area sit at around 50 to 70 cm at resort level, increasing to over 120 cm on higher terrain around Saulire and Mont Vallon. Snowfall earlier this month laid down a solid base at altitude, and recent cold nights have helped preserve snow quality on prepared pistes. Over the past few days temperatures have remained below freezing overnight on the mountain, with daytime highs hovering just below zero at altitude and a few degrees above in the village. Forecasts for the Christmas period suggest mainly dry weather with a chance of light snowfall at higher elevations later in the week. Winds are expected to stay light, which should help maintain good surface conditions. In practical terms, skiing is most reliable on higher slopes and main runs, while lower pistes are improving but can feel firmer and thinner in places, especially later in the day.
Outlook and What’s On
The weather outlook through the Christmas period looks stable rather than dramatic, which should suit piste skiing well. Cold nights will continue to support grooming and snowmaking, helping lower runs become more dependable as the week goes on. Festive events are now in full swing across Méribel, with Christmas markets, torchlight descents, children’s shows and seasonal activities running throughout the week. Restaurants and bars are lively, and the atmosphere in the resort is unmistakably festive. With the bulk of the ski area open and conditions holding well at altitude, this is a good window for Christmas skiing, especially for those happy to focus on higher terrain.
Snow Takeaway
Méribel is in a strong position heading into Christmas week. Upper slopes are offering solid, enjoyable skiing with reliable snow cover, and conditions across the wider area are continuing to improve. If you are visiting over the festive period, expect the best snow higher up, with lower pistes becoming more consistent as cold weather continues.
