Snow Report, 4 February 2026
Meribel is feeling properly wintry at the moment, with the village surrounded by settled snow and the forests looking heavy and quiet after a solid January. From living here, it feels like the season has found its rhythm, with consistent conditions rather than dramatic changes. The mountains look well filled in, and skiing feels dependable day to day, especially once you get up above the tree line.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths in Meribel are sitting at around 220 to 240cm at altitude, with approximately 90 to 110cm in the village. There has been a light refresh of snow over the past week, generally around 10 to 20cm higher up, which has helped freshen the surface without changing the underlying base. Temperatures have stayed cold, with daytime highs on the mountain between -7 and -1 degrees Celsius and overnight lows well below freezing. The freezing level has remained mostly below 1400m, helping preserve snow quality across all elevations. Winds have been light to moderate, strongest on exposed ridgelines but rarely disruptive. Skiing is very good on higher and north facing slopes where snow remains dry and grippy, while lower pistes tend to be firmer early on and soften gradually through the late morning.
Outlook & What’s On
The outlook for the coming days suggests continued cold and fairly settled weather, with a mix of sunshine and passing cloud. No major snowfall is expected in the short term, so conditions should remain stable and predictable. In resort, the February events calendar is underway, with evening entertainment, family activities and regular live music adding to the atmosphere as half term approaches.
Snow Takeaway
Meribel is offering reliable mid winter skiing, with the best snow found higher up and on shaded runs. Early starts suit confident skiers on firmer pistes, while mid morning onwards gives more forgiving conditions lower down over the next few days.
