Meribel Snow Report & Forecast

Discover the latest Meribel snow conditions

Imprint
By Nye Erskine, Updated

The air in Meribel feels crisp and genuinely alpine at the start of this week with long clear views over Les Trois Vallées. Locals are noticing the season is progressing steadily rather than spectacularly with firm early morning pistes turning softer through the day where the sun gets to them. There is a calm mood around town because conditions are reliable on groomed runs, and the higher sections still carry a reassuring amount of snow that lets you explore widely without feeling restricted.

Snow and Weather Summary

Snow depths on the upper slopes sit around half a metre to just under one and a quarter metres with solid coverage at altitude and a thinner, firm base lower down near the resort villages. There has been little in the way of fresh snowfall through the first days of January, however, the forecast is starting to show some welcome snowfall around the 8th or thereafter. Temperatures are low with below freezing levels most days which is keeping the snowpack cold and firm through much of the terrain. The pistes above mid mountain are generally hard packed to packed powder early before softening under sunshine on southerly aspects in the afternoons. Wind has mostly been light so far with visibility good under mainly clear skies. Expect warmer spells next week nearer resort level that could produce some freeze thaw transitions on the lower pistes.

Outlook & What’s On

The coming days look predominantly dry, however, there is snow forecasted to fall towards the end of the week and this weekend. This implies that piste maintenance will remain important for consistent skiing and early starts will reward you with the best conditions before any daytime warming effects. Meribel has events planned this week including guided snowshoe walks and evening torchlight descents that local tourist information have listed to keep guests engaged off the slopes. Community markets and live music evenings are also scheduled in the village centre which add atmosphere to your holiday evenings.

Snow Takeaway

In summary conditions are solid and dependable on piste this week though fresh snow is limited until the end of this week. The best skiing will be found higher up where the base remains deepest and the snow stays colder throughout the day. Lower runs are still skiable but will firm up overnight.

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!

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.
