I agree that this forum probably isn't the right place but didn't know where else to look. I may try some expat forums or property tribe to see if there is any first hand experience. Just for balance of course as there is no substitute for experience.

You'll very rarely get an unbiased view from someone that has sunk time, money and effort into this. Least of all from people that may have lost tens if not hundreds of thousands in this.

I agree with the consensus here, you should avoid this.

That's a really good point actually

If you don't already have a substantial S&S portfolio then why would you do this first? There are far cheaper and less risky ways to have a holiday in the Alps.
I think you'll find many on this board are very wary about unregulated investments having seen so many bad outcomes and with so many regulated investments available that would suit most people for the majority of their portfolios.
By all means go for it but make sure you're aware of the true risks not just those that the company selling it are telling you.
