The Countess of Wessex is on her second overseas trip of the year, following her visit to Qatar at the beginning of January.
Sophie, 57, is in Meribel as patron of the UK Armed Forces Winter Sports Association, to cheer on those competing in the Inter-Services Snow Sports Championships.
She is meeting military competitors who will be racing in the three snow disciplines - Alpine, Telemark and Snowboarding - many of whom have been involved in operations and deployments over the last 18 months, and have been supporting the national response to Covid-19.

Sophie's latest work trip comes after she travelled to Qatar in January with global sight loss charity, Orbis, where she visited organisations and charities, and met dignitaries who are championing crucial eye healthcare programmes, in support of the IAPB's '2030 in Sight' initiative.
The Countess also celebrated her 57th birthday on 20 January, with the Queen sharing a touching tribute to her daughter-in-law on social media. Sophie stepped out on her special day to volunteer at a St John Ambulance vaccination centre, where she was surprised with a bouquet of flowers.
