Hi,
I have watched the flying at Courchevel in the alps, I know the french do a rating for mountain flying, can anyone recommend a school with english speaking instructors ( i'm not fluent in french) that teach for this?
Thanks

I suppose it depends on your definition of "English speaking", :E but Megève is the canonical place in France.

Be aware that most non-French people (as well as a few Frenchman) suffer a certain degree of cultural shock, as the training experience is quite unlike anything else you would have come across before in European aviation.

PM for details.

Club Aeronautique d'Annemasse

It's in Annemasse, France close to the Swiss border (Geneva)

Did my PPL there, a very pleasant experience
