I hiched here in full sesion so the traffic jam wwnt from the top all the way down. So it didnt realy matter wher i stand. But this spot has a shade and trashcan neer by.

And people here even tho they didnt have space gave my some food for the journy so that was nice. Was here with sing to Torino but guy took me to Milan (not bad)

Great spot towards Italy. Many cars on a weekday in July, around 11am.
Waited for 20 minutes for a ride east. Although it took me only to Chamonix.

Good spot heading towards Martigny, cars can see you from a while away and there is shade.

Second car picked me up dropped me in Les Houches! Beautiful spot to hitch from at any time of day I would say. Picked up by a British dude who wanted to practice his French (I do not know French).

Can be a good spot, but mutch better when there is a bit of traffic since cars will be standing still allowing you to negociate. Just try to stay a bit incognito and not move around, i got spotted and kicked out when i started going around the lorries because i got impatient. And don't expect any sympathy from italian drivers.

Its a toll booth, so as always a great place to be as a hitchhiker (feels super safe). It is reachable by foot even if your driver leaves you on the highway exit just before like was my case

Decent spot, space to pull over, but cars are going fast even though it is a turn. Best option if you come from courmayeur like we did. We walked up here to join the big road because the traffic out of the town was non-existant, but it was also on a sunday. It isnt possible to walk all the way up to the tunnel from here, I wouldnt risk it.

Great spot to catch cars going towards italy. I recommend the walk up here if you get let off at the roundabout like i did. Its not too long, just follow the forest path, and here you have good visibility and cars plenty space to pull over. The spot on the turn before is bad: barrier blocking cars from pulling over

Got a ride by French-Moldavian couple very fast. First to Chamonix, but then they invited me to stay for a night at their place in Annemasse as it was already dark and my destination was Marseille. It was perfectly on my way and I couldn't resist the offer. What a hospitality!

There is a pocket for cars to stop and you are visible from a distance. Good spot to get down to Chamonix

It is very good spot on working days to go direction to Geneva or Lausanne. However on Saturday I was waiting for 3 hours any car to this direction and it never came. 4 cars stoped for me and were ready to take me to the mountains, but I skipped it hoping to get direct ar to Geneva. Then two guys approached me and offered a ride to Mont Blanc and I couldn't resist :)
