Meråker alpinsenter

Off season

Meråker alpinsenter is a ski area in Norway, at about 353 m. Its mapped area is about 2.0 km across, with 17 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 8.5 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 272 cm of snowfall a season, 608th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 45th in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (388 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (123 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (69 and 69 cm on average).

Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.

We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.
