Follow the instruction other people wrote in order to reach this spot. Personally, I bought a €2,6 train ticket from Turin to Alpignano then walked for 20 minutesI was holding a sign with "France" written on it and the second person I asked got me a lift to Susa Autoporto, where he was heading to to work. It probably helped that we were both Italians but I will forever remember this as my first ever hitchhiking lift and I can only thank this community for the help

I was trying to get to Milan but I couldn't find anyone, it was all locals. Eventually I got a ride to Torino porta Susa and took the train. Getting to Turin is very easy and sometimes more south but not north―Peddy42

Waited 2 hours early evening for a lift to Milan (returning skier from the alps). In that time 4 different police cars stopped, one informed us that we shouldn't be hitching from there but left us alone, the rest just ignored us. Whilst the police were there most drivers ignored us. Very friendly petrol staff though who asked friendly truck drivers if they could take us.―JoeMclo

No much space to stop, but one guy stopped, although he went other direction. You have to do it near to the traffic lights, otherwise the Police warm you. After 3 hours, I decided to take a bus.―Anonymous

-----2024----Very good spot to go to France
From Turin, it's better to take the bus to Rivoli and walk to the station rather than try to hitchhike elsewhere. The fence around the station is bent to the west and you can walk in without any problems. Be careful not to stick out your thumb as the police fined the young woman who did so; it's better to ask people directly when they stop to take a break,
A gentleman took us to the border in a few minutes.
Info: I'm a young man of 23.

Got a ride to Turin in 1 min. I was hitchhiking straight from the toll, plenty of space to stop safely. The tunnel Frejus was closed tho, so the way was longer but it still worked easily―jurichezzbmx

I was lucky to get a ride by some italian traveler who spoke perfect English, seems like a good spot to get a ride to Bardonecchia — mountain resort in Italy―Anonymous

Another french hitchhiker was there, he was going north and me toward bologna. I was asking drivers with my best italian "lei parla inglese? no? ho, vado verso alessandria e mi serve un passagio per favor." I had a lot of friendly reaction and many people were not going there, eventually, a french dude drove me to an autogrill close to alessandria. Nice―jurichezzbmx

Just like Melaine said, take the bus from Turin to Rivoli or Alpignano, then walk to the highway. Follow the gravel track "Via Valle" on 400 meters and then you will find a low fence easy to step over, enter the service station and ask people for a ride. I was lucky, the first driver I asked said yes so it was my fastest hitchhike ever. Do not stick your thumb up or wait with a sign, police will fine you.―Broula
