As promised, I have done some researches for you concerning the opportunity to come to France for a flight training session in the Alps. Because of the language, I see 2 different options :
1. There are some instructors that could train you and who speak good English. They have a good level in mountain flying but they are pretty young (that's why they speak English) as a result I cannot say they are mastering the subject.
2. I know an instructor who is a very trustable person and who is one of the legends of the mountain flying here in France. His name is Jean-Pierre Laphin. He had a career as a rescue pilot and he's now like an authority as an instructor. He has 18 000 flight hours, mostly in the Alps, including 11 000 on various helicopters including R 44, of course. The problem is that he's not fluent in English. Of course, he can speak enough English as to give you some advices and fly safe with you in the mountains....
I recommend the second option as Jean-Pierre is one of the most experienced mountain instructor I know. But of course, if you think that the first one could satisfied you, I will search for more details. Tell me what you think about it ... For advisory, the airfield departure is Annecy so that you will have to bring there your helicopter.

про посадку на флажок забыли!!!! - когда заход осуществляется по ветру (сильному) с разворотом на 180 над самой площадкой.
