Yes, try flying from Fort William to Glasgow (through Glencoe and past Black Mountain) in a 55 kt wind in a 206. The wind round pointy bits of ground still provides the same challenges at whatever height!

However, real mountain flying, I grant you, is when you have to get into the landing spot with no collective or throttle left.
