Meribel has fully transitioned into spring skiing now, with longer days, softer afternoons and a more relaxed pace across the mountain. The snow cover is still holding well higher up, while the village levels are beginning to show more of that late season feel. It is still a very enjoyable place to ski if you adjust your timing and make the most of the altitude on offer.
Meribel Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Meribel snow conditions
Snow and Weather Summary
Snow depths are currently around 60 to 95 cm at resort level, increasing to between 150 and 220 cm on the upper slopes, with the best coverage across Saulire, Mont Vallon and the higher links into Courchevel and Val Thorens. There has been very little fresh snowfall recently, with only light flurries at altitude that have not significantly changed the base.
Temperatures have been ranging from minus 6 to minus 1 degrees on the upper mountain, while resort levels have seen daytime highs between plus 5 and plus 12 degrees. The freezing level has generally been between 2400 and 2900 metres, dropping overnight which is helping to firm up the snow surface for early runs. Winds have remained light to moderate, with occasional exposure on higher ridges.
Skiing conditions are best above 2000 metres, where pistes are firm first thing and soften into a smooth spring surface by late morning. Mont Vallon is holding its quality particularly well. Lower runs and south facing slopes are softening quickly and can become heavier and more cut up by mid afternoon, especially on the way back into resort.
Outlook & What’s On
The outlook remains settled, with continued sunshine and mild temperatures expected over the coming days. There is only a slight chance of light snowfall on the highest terrain, and no major change in conditions is expected. Overnight refreezing should continue to support good early morning skiing.
Meribel is moving into its spring events calendar, with live music, après sessions and on mountain entertainment continuing across the resort. The quieter period between peak weeks makes it easier to explore the Three Valleys with minimal queues and plenty of space on the pistes.
Weather outlook as of: 30 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 offering classic spring conditions, with the best skiing found on higher slopes where the snow remains consistent through the day. Start early to enjoy firmer runs and move higher as temperatures rise to make the most of the mountain.
