Hi

I would not take a 47 over the Alps even in good weather.. 60/70kts top IAS and a good headwind will see you running out of landing options and fuel fairly quickly

I would say the coastal route via Genoa and Monaco/Nice is a lot better and safer; If you are concerned about landing fees, then forget about buying a heli in the first place

Have a safe flight
