Meribel Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Meribel snow conditions
Meribel moves into the second week of March with the mountain still looking comfortably wintery above the tree line. The village remains well covered and the slopes leading up towards Tougnete and Mont Vallon are carrying a healthy base. After a period of steady conditions following the half term rush, the pistes are holding up well and the wider Three Valleys link continues to offer reliable skiing across all sectors.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths are around 70 to 90 cm at resort level around 1450 metres, with between 170 and 230 cm reported on the upper mountain above 2400 metres, particularly around Mont Vallon at 2950 metres. A small refresh of around 5 to 10 cm has fallen across the upper slopes during the past few days which has improved surface grip on exposed runs while the deeper underlying base remains stable.
Temperatures on the upper slopes have typically ranged from minus 9 to minus 4 degrees, with between minus 1 and plus 4 degrees around the village depending on sunshine. The freezing level has generally fluctuated between 1500 and 2000 metres, dropping overnight which has helped maintain good piste condition across the ski area. Winds have been light to moderate across most sectors with only occasional gusts near the highest ridgelines.
On piste, the best snow is found above 2000 metres where the surface remains firm and grippy throughout most of the day. North facing slopes around Mont Vallon and Tougnete are holding particularly well and offer the most consistent skiing. Lower tree lined runs back into Meribel ski best during the mornings before softening slightly in sunnier periods during the afternoon. Links across the Three Valleys remain in strong condition with dependable coverage across the main connections.
Outlook & What’s On
The forecast for the coming days suggests a mix of sunshine and occasional cloud with the chance of light snowfall at higher elevations later in the week. Freezing levels are expected to vary slightly but should continue to fall overnight which will help preserve the overall quality of the snowpack. Any fresh snowfall would provide a welcome refresh on the upper mountain.
Meribel continues to host a range of village activities through early March including live music events, family entertainment and regular mountain experiences organised through the tourist office. The atmosphere in resort remains lively while the slopes feel noticeably calmer following the peak holiday period.
Weather outlook as of: 9 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.
Snow Takeaway
Meribel is skiing best above 2000 metres where snow depth and surface quality remain strongest, particularly on the higher slopes around Mont Vallon. Early runs on lower pistes back into resort will provide the most consistent conditions before any afternoon softening. With a solid base still in place, the Three Valleys remain in good shape as March continues.
