Meribel Snow Report & Forecast

Discover the latest Meribel snow conditions

Imprint
By Nye Erskine, Updated

Meribel has taken on a very different look over the past few days after a major snowfall transformed the mountain. The forests are heavily laden, the upper bowls look properly filled in, and there is a real sense that winter has arrived in full. The season now feels firmly established rather than tentative, and conditions on the slopes feel magical with fresh snow visible almost everywhere you look.

Snow and Weather Summary

Snow depths are now sitting at around 190 to 210cm on the upper mountain, with approximately 110 to 130cm in resort. The recent storm cycle delivered between 60 and 90cm of snow across the area since last Thursday, with heavier totals at altitude and strong wind transport in exposed zones. This snowfall has dramatically improved coverage across the whole ski area, with pistes skiing very well from top to bottom and soft, grippy snow on most runs. Temperatures at altitude have been ranging between -9 and -5 degrees Celsius, with the freezing level close to 1100m, helping preserve snow quality. Winds were strong during the storm but have now eased, allowing lifts to operate normally. While skiing conditions are excellent, the volume and intensity of recent snowfall have pushed avalanche risk to very high levels, particularly in off piste and uncontrolled terrain, where the snowpack remains unstable.

Outlook & What’s On

The outlook for the coming days is mostly dry with some high cloud and brighter spells. Cold overnight temperatures are expected to keep snow conditions in good shape, with little change to the current setup. Any further snowfall looks light and mainly confined to higher elevations later in the week. In resort, Meribel continues its winter programme with evening events, torchlight descents and live music in the village.

Snow Takeaway

Skiing in Meribel is currently excellent across the mountain, with deep snow, strong coverage and high quality piste conditions at all elevations. Stick to marked and controlled runs, follow local safety advice closely, and avoid off piste terrain unless accompanied by a fully qualified local guide due to the current very high avalanche risk.

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.

Folie Douce webcam

This is the webcam of the Folie Douce mountain restaurant in Meribel, home of some great apres-ski. In the background are the Biche (blue) Maudit (red) pistes; and the lift/mid-station is the Saulire Express giving access up and down to skiers and pedestrians alike so the Folie Douce is a great meeting place.
