PETROL STATION on both sides of A8 (connected by pedestrian tunnel) - BADLY PINNED! it's2km from Gazzada-Schianno train station (5 min from Varese, about 1 hour 10 from Milano Porta Garibaldi station, 5.30€).
From Gazzada station, make your way to via Roma (it's 200m, ask locals) and then walk it heading south = downhill! after few roundabouts, when houses and warehouses are finished, 500m after the BRUNELLO village sign, you'll find the entrance to the petrol station on your right - and you'll be on the side headed to Varese and Switzerland.
Decent amount of cars stop here but Varese people are quite suspitious - took me more than one hour both the times I started from there, both times I was directed south O_O
good luck! :-)

From Airport Milano Malpensa in direction of Novara: I was there on a Sunday morning and there was not a lot of traffic but a car stopped after 5 minutes for me.There is space to stop for the cars and in general this place is okay.

The point is this. Yhis all area is a shit area. I spent hours oround there searching for hope. My intent was to take the highway for torin but was very difficult. This spot was not signed but is the only good spot near by. If you are lucky you can meet someone who goes to milan or torin. A guy pick me up and drop me near Novara in a gas station. Best option considereting the bad area.―Giulio
