Its actually a good spot if you want to travel north. There is a free toilet. Lots of german and swiss cars.We were a bit unlucky and waited for 2h, a lot of full cars. But then we got a ride behind the border of switzerland.

We literally crossed the border, wrote a sign and started walking to a MacDonalds with the sign attached to a backpack. Before we were even able to cross the road a car stoped next to us and this amazing German tourists pick us up. This is a 10 out of 5. Amazing―Frogpeople

Indeed very good spot, space for cars on a parking right after, but most of all there can be a lot of traffic, so cars are very slow.Gives you enough time to charm them with smiles ;)

Not easy to go to this place, but when you go through the field it is a quite fine spot to go to Milan from nearby villages. We had a sign Milano. A guy took us to a metro station, by metro we went to the southern part of Milano to Romolo station and continued to Genova from there.―TwoThumbsTravel

Estis iom malfacile alveni tien, preterpasi la barilon kaj ĉion tian. Kiam mi alvenis al la stacidomo, estis policanoj ĉe la elirejo. Mi sukcesis alivesti min parolante kun alia aŭto, kiu haltis ĝuste ĉe la elirejo, sed ĉar mi sciis, ke ili havas problemojn kun petveturantoj, mi atendis, ke ili foriru por provi sur la vojo, kio daŭris horojn... tamen, dum ili estis tie, mi provis de la alia flanko de la stacidomo diskrete demandi homojn. Estis malfacile kiam du policaj aŭtoj alvenis kaj staris ĉe kontraŭaj flankoj; ŝajnis, ke ili nur atendis petveturantojn. Mi kredas, ke la antaŭa stacidomo estus pli bona laŭ la priskriboj. Sed ĝi funkciis; mi ricevis veturon al Germanio, kio multe helpis min, ĉar mi iris al la Eŭropa Ĉielarka Festivalo en Belgio.Artista paro veturigis min. Ili dormis en Svislando, en la montoj ĉe la domo de kelkaj amikoj, kaj ĉi tiuj amikoj ankaŭ akceptis min tie por dormi kaj ankaŭ dum la mateno, kiam ni faris artajn agadojn kune.

Great spot, people see you from afar. If there are no cars in the parking spot for dropping of goods you are good. Someone stopped when i put the sign up instantly.―Tijmen

Amazing spot. People were asking us where we want to go while we were writing signs. Waited with the signs „Luzern“, „Gotthard“ and „Italy“ for around 40min and got a lift all the way to Como, Italy.―Liva

This is a good gas station to get a ride into Switzerland. People here go all the way to Basel and at least through the Gotthard tunnel.―Anonymous

This is a fantastic place to be generally, it's easy to talk to hundreds of lorry driver in a short span of time since all drivers have to get off their lorry and do something with some of their documents.The downside is that after 20mins a civil servant came up to me and told me to leave. After some negotiation I was allowed another 20mins before I would have to leave. So do try to stay out of sight (as in behind the lorries).

Got a ride to Milano in 5 minutes and a ride to Bellinzona in about an hour. Good place for both directions. Give a smile to the station attendants so they wont bother you.―Simonkfr

My friend and I didn't have much luck here. There wasn't enough traffic through the gas station and not speaking italian was a HUGE disadvantage.―Anonymous
