Good spot, mostly local traffic but easy to go west or north. Use sign, very visible never had any issues, besides the occasional angry tram driver.

Sunday is slow, during week would be better, multiple directions possible, Zurich, Fribourg, Lausanne, Bienne. Spot is covered from rain and lots of room for stopping.

banger, i find this one reliable to go far into france direction reims. heading northwest, don't bother taking rides shorter than aire du haut-koenigsbourg. there's plenty of ppl going long distances, especially luxembourg/belgium. also loads of german cars.

not crazy busy, with most traffic to bern. if like me you're trying to go to basel, it's tricky but look out for lucerne (LU) license plates. some international cars (D/I/A/B/NL).

petrol station closed as of 10/01/2025, but cars still stop for coffee and bathroom. probably a better stop when open (and more patient than me), i was worried by the low traffic and took the first reasonable ride after asking ppl having breakfast in the restaurant. particularly good for zurich, and a fair amount of german cars

Stoplight with right only turning lane. all cars go to the next village or satigny, where the train station is.

Got a ride in 30s to Basel!

Not a lot of space to stop but it works. I got a ride to Basel. Recommend to us a sign as it goes direction to Lausanne, Fribourg and Basel.

Entrance of the highway. Illegal spot but enough space for car to stop. Not that much traffic. Very efficient.

Great spot, a lot of traffic. Easy to go to Lausanne. I got a ride to Estavayer gas station really easy

Really good spot to go to Lausanne or Bern. Got a ride to Bern in December 2025 around 10am

We were lucky to get a ride to Grindelwald! Exactly our destination.

It was very chaotic, many cars, a little bit to fast

It was sunday morning, not much cars moving through, so we waited a bit.

We took a lift to Täsch and were very lucky to get picked up so fast

Nice spot to hitch with a car through the tunnel to Wallis. We went through the train station and just came to the spot where all the cars are waiting for the green light to enter the train.

thumb at the gas station entrance. easy

good visibility & plenty of room to stop

wide hard shoulder but little traffic

since the highway on-ramp isn't really usable anymore, this bus stop is maybe the closest convenient spot to go south

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.

I tried asking around at the gas station but all the cars were full or we're going towards Salamanca. There are a lot of truck drivers and foreigners (France, UK, Portugal, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland...) at the gas station, but many are families. After I decided moving to the entrance of the highway, a Spanish guy exited from the highway, and promised me to take me to Valladolid (my sign). Turns out he was going further and I ended up in Burgos.

Okay spot if you wanna get to switzerland bad spot if you wanna get to france, here people only go to swiss

great alternative to hitching from the border. we were a while standing on the on slip directly, but eventually we moved onto the road a little bit and one of the first french cars to pass stopped for us. theres good visibility and cars are already slowing down about to turn. at mid day on a weekday there was a decent amount of traffic, a lot of people in mulhouse commute to switzerland for work so you could catch a lot of french drivers going home after work around 5 or 6 potentially.

loads of traffic for switzerland, a lot of people cross the border for work so getting here early you catch commuter traffic to st gallen etc. also a few swiss cars driving by with sg plates, bathroom at the petrol station right behind to refill water and bins filled with cardboard for all your sign making needs :-)

Yeap.... this one is terrible for france, for Switzerland is really good, I changed my plans to go to Lyon through Switzerland after waiting too long

I decided to hitchhike from this place beacuse I couldn't find better one. I think that this place is not so good but I was lucky. Some guy stopped there, I asked him if he is going Innsbruck direction and he took me all the way to Switzerland.
