Large service station towards Lausanne and Geneva. Best is to stand on the exact marked spot with a sign, just in front of the gas station. Cars leaving the parking lot will pass by and whenever there are people filling up gas you can quickly go ask them.rating: 5/5, wait: 20 min 💬+🪧

Stood there with a "Suisse" sign. Not the best spot for cars to stop, but it was still fine to catch a ride. Most cars go direction Vallorbe/Lausanne, so if you go to Neuchâtel, it's best to accept a short ride and get dropped off at la cluse et mijouxrating: 4/5, wait: 10 min 🪧, ride: 7 km ↘

I have hitchhiked at this spot many times. It is my prefered spot when hitching out from Lausanne to any direction. When going East or towards Fribourg or Bern, I usually stay a few meters below the south highway entrance (Dir. Bern), just when the road splits in 3. When hitching West or towards Neuchâtel, I usually stay at the north entrance, as well right when the road splits in 3 again. Usually wait times are around 20-40 minute.rating: 4/5, wait: 25 min 🪧, ride: 26 km ↘

Many cars passing by going towards the highway. Either you stand at the bus stop where cars can safely pull over or just a few meters further where visibility is better. Easy to get a ride towards Lausanne, I recommend taking the first ride to the service station la côte. From there, you can find many cars travelling long distances who stopped there. Most cars at this spot won't drive further than Lausanne.rating: 5/5, wait: 10 min 🪧

Meh, not the best spot, even though the traffic was good, maybe bad luck, but nobody was going to Geneva way. Slept there and in the morning got a ride to another spot inside of Lausannerating: 2/5, wait: 180 min 🪧, ride: 10 km ←

For me it was very difficult to get to the spot from the centre of Lausanne, since there were protests and trains were not functional. Once there, however, it was easy to get a ride to Martignyrating: 4/5, wait: 20 min

"Bavois" station / service station near Lausanne. I think it is a nice spot to hitchhike to Lausanne or Genve. Ask in front of the service station and try to speak french.―Anonymous, October 2015

Hitchhiked : on my own (girl)Waiting time: 5min (asked driver)
It was quite a walk from the tram station (Butini), maybe 30min. On the way, there are loads of traffic lights and the road is going straight to the highway. I think there are very good possibilities to get a ride if you have a sign and try from one of the traffic lights. However, the gas station worked very well, I asked a first driver and he drove me past Lausanne. (Was going to Luzern).
