Came back to this spot again, and had my doubts if I was just lucky the first time, but yet again soon I managed to get a ride to Lausanne. Probably not the best spot in the world but it gets the job done.rating: 5/5, wait: 20 min

There’s an emergency lane and a lot of space for cars to stop. Even it’s a non-pedestrian zone I didn’t had problems when the police passed by. It’s the best place to go south (Lausanne, Geneve, Montreux).I stood with a sign that said Geneva and in 10 min. I’ve got a ride to Lausanne.

Really great spot for hitchhiking towards Lausanne. With a Lausanne sign, got a lift in 5 minutes to Châtel-Saint-Denis and from there it was an easy hitch to Lausanne.rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min, ride: 82 km ↙

Very active service station. Had no trouble finding a ride standing at the exit. In 10 minutes I was offered 2 rides to Zurich but I declined and the 3rd few minutes after took me past Bern. Probably possible to find rides to Lausanne and Geneva if you're lucky.rating: 5/5, wait: 10 min 🪧, ride: 197 km ←

Good spot to go onto the highway. A bit of space to pull over and a good amount of traffic. Good to have a sign either direction Neuchâtel, Bern or Lausannerating: 5/5, wait: 10 min

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 ←

We tried to get a direct to Bern or Zurich from here, but struggled a lot. Then we wrote Lausanne on our sign and found a driver within 20 to 30 minutesrating: 4/5, wait: 30 min
