Waited here for about an hour with a sign that said Lugano and Milano. A nice man took me to Monza, which is just a little bit above Milano. Great spot for heading south.

Waited at the end of the gasstation and got picked up in like half an hour. The guy was really nice and he took me all the way to Belinzona. There are a lot of tourists there in the summertime and most of them are heading to Italy through the Gothard tunnel. I think it’s a great spot to get through the Gothard tunnel. There was a really long line before the tunnel though, so we went over the Gothard passe with some great views.

A bit close to the customs perhaps. There's an OK shoulder to stop, still took 15 minutes for a short ride two exits further.

Pouring rain... right next to a police station for customs, but thankfully it is out of sight behind an earth mound. Not that much south bound traffic on the on ramp but got picked up after 45 mins and taken to vaduz. At the start of the ramp there is no space to pull over, but a little further down theres plenty. Had sign for vaduz, but after some people pulled over, then saw the sign and drove off I put it away. Traffic is slow and visibility good. Lots of unsympathetic posh people but the guy who picked me.up was the world's biggest gigachad.

I've waited at this spot a number of times, and I've found its easier to catch a ride towards Zürich. If you need to go towards Basel, it's easier with a sign.

Having hitchhiked a lot out of geneva, it is so much better to just go straight to the bardonnex douane than trying from here. Either just take transit, or like me rent a donkey bike, which can be returned in the small towns close to the douane. To get into the douane there is just a small gate to the west, out of sight, that can be jumped easily

got a ride towards zurich pretty quickly

thumbing, got a ride most of the way to zurich in 45 min, most are local traffic but still great way out

easy spot, got a ride to laax in no time. the road is great for hitching though most people don't go very far

this place is freaking impossible... there's not a very good place to stop. if you can, take a bus out and it gets easier (i went to tamins)

first car stopped after about 1hr, took me to chur. okay spot.

thumbing doesn't seem to work that well, ask drivers!!

Waited with a sign "Annecy". A car stopped after 3 minutes and took us to the city center of Annecy. A lot of french cars were passing by.

Just got out of the previous ride and the first car that stopped took us to Genève Airport. We had a sign "Genève". (2 people)

Waited 15 minutes with a sign "Lausanne Genève" and got a ride to Lausanne (2 people)

Waited for 15 minutes with a sign "Lausanne Genève" and got a ride to Montreux (2 people)

Great spot, waited for 3 minutes with a sign "Lausanne Genève" and got a ride to Bulle (2 people)

Asked two people, the second immediately took us to where we were going

Wanted to get to Bern, after 50 minutes we got a ride to solothurn. On our way back we wanted to get to Freiburg Germany, after 1 Hour only 1 German car drove by, most germans get fuel right behind the border i guess. Eventually we got a ride to airport Basel where we didnt even have to wait 5 Minutes to get to Freiburg.

Before a level crossing there is space to pull over on the cerb and a slow traffic. Had a schweiz sign and got a ride to Switzerland in 20 mins. English speaking driver.

always tricky to hitchhike on a highway, but this spot turned out to be super useful and successful, coming from Strasbourg and wanting to go south to Switzerland. cars have room to stop (only) on the left hand side, and you can get a ride to any gas station or parking/rest place further on the highway. i got there by being droped on the previous highway exit, and walking along the fields, coming up to the highway right at the beginning of the exit lane.

I stood on a pedestrian walk/curb thing and got a nice look at every single car passing by into Switzerland. In my eyes the perfect spot as everybody has enough time to decide and to read your sign. Initially I wanted to get to Mulhouse from the other side, but there was no traffic so I switched for a ride towards Switzerland.

got a ride to lyon by asking around. many people there also going to germany or switzerland.

Very easy to get a lift to lausanne, after you are on the highway get off on La Cote rest stop if you need to go far into switzerland

I have tried this spot few times to go to Switzerland. Every time i waited 60 min holding a sign "Génève - péage de Beynost". After 60min, i decided to hitchhike only with a thumb. Within 10minutes, 2 cars stopped. I asked them to drive me to "Beynost": it's 6min ride from this spot and from there you can reach the toll by foot. The 2nd car dropped me there. Also, they change the layout of the road there and there isn't much space for cars to stop. But it's still okay

I had a sign saying "Basel". I wanted to go to the Pratteln service station to stay on the swiss A2 highway. Got picked up by a guy driving to Brugg. He said he was going through Basel, so I took the ride, but actually he went through Lörach. Be aware that there are two entries into Switzerland! Make sure the guy is going the way you want.

couldn't agree more with the review below. this really sucked towards switzerland, most ppl were going east to the french alps. ended up taking a lift to the tolls 5km further and had much better luck there. it is however a useful stop to ask for a big piece of cardboard to make a sign for the toll, the bigger the better - staff kindly helped out.

traffic mostly going to switzerland via basel, however i can't think of another option for france. can be a bit of a wait to get someone who goes at least to belfort and can drop you on the porte d'alsace. it's worth the wait. male, early 30s, alone

You'll get picked up towards Porrentruy in a matter of seconds, if you wait a few cars it's easy to get to get to Delémont as well. As everywhere in the region, a lot of traffic in the morning from French people working in Switzerland.

Great Spot to hitch a ride towards munich, Switzerland or Innsbruck. I managed to get a ride quite deep into Italy :)

Not sure how to get here, another driver got me here. Got a ride to Verona offered in less then 10 minutes. Wanted to go to Switzerland so I only took it to Autogrill Secchia Est near Modena, which had a little bit more traffic.

Got a ride to end of Switzerland thanks Mikhail

got a ride but the guy dropped us in the middle of motorway and we had to deal with gendarmerie. direction switzerland

Got a ride instantly, straight to Renens. A lot of people live in france (its cheaper) and go to switzerland for work, so in the morning theres a lot of traffic, some to geneve and some to lausanne, maybe even further.

Good spot in summer. Don't know why was full pf switzerland cars. A german girl drop me at basel

Good amount of traffic, and cars are going slow and will read your sign. Lyon definitely is easier, I was trying to go to Switzerland but with a sign to Geneva I got a ride in about 20 minutes. And super lucky they were actually going to lausanne which is where I also wanted to go.

The pot is perfect, i was aiming italy so it takes long searching for italian cars, but if you want to go in france is super easy. Is possible also for germany and spain or switzerland and netherlans(in summer of course). There is a MC, the station is open 24, i slept there because was raining. There are 2 parking spot.

Worst place you can find for hitchhiking. We waited here for more than a day in the summer. Every car is rather full of families returning from vacation or refugees with car from switzerland. We had a cardboard saying Hrvatska, then we switched to Croatia, then we just asked people, but nobody wanted to take us or they had full car. After day on this gas station it seems like spawn for refugees with expensive cars. Stay in Belgrad instead, it's a nice city

The perfect spot if you are going to Switzerland. Lots of Swiss cars. A guy approached me in the bathroom after seeing my sign. He took me straight to my destination (Zürich). I didn't even have to wait. Strongly recommend this spot for Southbound travel.
