Meribel Snow Report & Forecast

Discover the latest Meribel snow conditions

Imprint
By Nye Erskine, Updated

Meribel has moved firmly into spring conditions now, though the mountain still holds a solid base thanks to its elevation and consistent winter snowfall. The higher slopes above the valley are still looking well covered, while lower runs are beginning to show more variation through the day. There is a noticeably more relaxed feel across the resort, with longer, sunnier days and quieter pistes making for enjoyable cruising conditions.

Snow and Weather Summary

Current snow depths are around 60 to 80 cm at resort level at 1400 metres, with between 150 and 210 cm across the upper slopes above 2500 metres. The higher terrain towards Mont Vallon and the connections into Val Thorens continue to hold the most reliable snowpack. There has been very little recent snowfall, with only light dustings at altitude over the past week.

Temperatures have been ranging from minus 6 to minus 2 degrees on the highest slopes and between plus 2 and plus 10 degrees in resort depending on sunshine. The freezing level has been sitting around 2200 to 2600 metres during the day before dropping overnight, allowing for a refreeze that helps maintain piste quality. Winds have been light overall, with occasional moderate gusts higher up.

Skiing conditions are best above 2000 metres where the snow remains firm in the morning and softens slightly through the afternoon. The Mont Vallon sector is skiing particularly well with good coverage and consistent snow. Lower runs back into Meribel soften more quickly in the sun and can become heavier later in the day, so are best enjoyed earlier.

Outlook & What’s On

The outlook for the coming days suggests continued settled weather with a mix of sunshine and occasional cloud, alongside gradually rising temperatures. There is a small chance of light snowfall at higher elevations later in the week, though any accumulation is expected to be limited. Overnight cooling should continue to help preserve conditions on higher pistes.

Meribel continues to host a range of spring events including live après ski music, terrace gatherings and family activities organised by the tourist office. With longer days and quieter slopes following the main holiday periods, it is an ideal time to explore the wider Three Valleys at a more relaxed pace.

Weather outlook as of: 23 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 on its higher slopes above 2000 metres, especially around Mont Vallon where the snow remains most consistent. Lower runs are best tackled early before softening in the afternoon sun. With a solid base still in place at altitude, the resort continues to offer enjoyable spring skiing conditions.
