Flying in the Alps - How do start?

From an italian "old beginner"
Very open question.
What kind of operations? Aerial work, SAR / HEMS...
Wich side of the Alps?
Your nationality?
And your license?
I think the RFM is a good start, but if you don't have any mountain experience (even low altitude is not always equal to easy job) that is not enough...
Mountain Aerial Work is a very commercial and competitive environment.
Many Mountain SAR / HEMS captains come from aerial work, but also navy / off-shore captains with a strong background are trained to those kind of operations.
