QROPS are usually based in tax efficient countries such as Malta, Gibraltar, Isle of Mann etc - this is not tax efficient for your situation as Switzerland are not in the EEA - thus as you commented, you would incur an immediate 25% tax charge.
By the sounds of it, I will echo what has been said above by other posters, either you have been ill-informed or you have understood incorrectly. Nevertheless, it is wise to obtain accurate information and ensure you understand correctly before making any decisions.
Main benefit of transferring a DC scheme into a SIPP is access to funds, management, ease, potentially maximising growth and control.

It would also be wise to add a footer with your situation, if you are regulated then your comments could be taken as advice.0
