Best place to go is Bristows Academy in Florida. Then you just have to do what we all did, apart from all the 14 exams, you can do a bridging course, still a lot of work. Then the flying part 155 (the modular route) Then do the IR(H), (15 hours). So if you have roughly €100k to spend, fantastic. After you spend that money you will still have to get to a 1000 hours, of which 350 multi-crew before you will have an ATPL(H). I don't know why you think you need an ATPL in Switzerland, because all the flying in Switzerland and Austria for that matter is VFR.
Bottomline, you have to start at the bottom. (Your IR experience might help find a co-pilot job in the off-shore industry)
