Great spot to get out of chamonix in the direction of Switzerland. I had a sign that said “Suisse,” and got a ride very quick all the way to Basel. Could have gone even further to Strasbourg.―Jackeline

Lots of space but not much visibility nor traffic. Managed to get lucky with a ride with an elderly woman going to west Switzerland. She was very concerned for my safety and there was a language barrier but I ended up getting to a good spot.―Arcturus

Lots of traffic and people are very willing to pick people up. There's a gap between the fences and I hitchhiked there and got a ride with a French couple on holidays to their little villa.―Arcturus

Not much traffic but everyone passing by is going to Chamonix or very close/past it. A lot of space to pull over on the LEFT side so it did feel a bit weird but got a ride with some workers in 10 minutes with a sign for Chamonix.―Arcturus

Some space to pull over here. Literally just got off my previous ride and was offered a ride to a town near Chamonix by a driver who saw me hitchhiking at my previous spot and pulled over when he saw me here to ask where I was going!―Arcturus

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.―Thisspotsucks

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).―Thisspotsucks

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.―Frederik

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―Frederik

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.―Frederik

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―Frederik

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!―estasbien

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