Having owned many helicopters over 25 years ( 9 x 300's, 206's 6 x 500's 341 ) I would think very carefully about owning your own machine.
The manufacturers are in a race as to who can take the piss the most out of the customer. Example MD helicopters overnight put the overhaul price of a transmission up by $50k last year
Any turbine helicopter will cost you in broad figures £ 15k a year to insure and another £ 15k in an annual inspection. So that is £30 k if you are lucky before you have even pressed the start button.
To fly down to the Alps, you will be lucky with the ****e weather his country has. To get down there you would really need an IFR helicopter which will significantly increase the price of the machine and its running costs ( a friend had his 2 x turbomeca engines overhauled which cost 750k Euros ! )as it has to be a twin engine. Plus you need to have an instrument rating which is not cheap in terms of time, experience and money.
As others have said you would be better off hiring a machine and pilot. In that way you can still fly it, you have a pilot who is way more experienced etc etc. So all in all the risks to one's self and wallet are reduced enormously.
