Mountain rating in France

Does anyone know how proficient your French has to be for the solo flight in the full mountain rating (not the altiport sign off)? I am planning to do the training at Courchevel.

Not as important as your flying skills.

You can learn the relevant phrases parrot fashion.

Who are you doing the training with?

The club looks really excellent*

I'd love to do a mountain qualification but I had no idea it involved quite so much: seven hours' groundschool and 15-20 hours of flying spread over 15 days to one month in total...? Phew, at € 180/h in their Jodel 140 (yum!), that's going to add up to quite a budget. (Well, I guess you could say the same for aeros training, and plenty of other stuff, too...)

Anyway, it looks very tempting. Are you hoping to do the "wheels" or "skis" qualification?
