Is Three Valleys Flying Club at Courcheval still operating? Any update on where is best for the Mountain Rating please?
On the basis of a couple of weeks flying there last summer, I'd recommend Megève. Good food, well-maintained D140s (some of which have apparently survived the ski season) and friendly instructors. PM me if you want contact details.
P.S. By all means come and practice a bit in sunny Scotland before you go...
