Très bon spot, les voitures peuvent très bien s'arrêter
Un pu d'attente tout de même et beaucoup de chance car des locaux allant à Bonneville nous ont amené jusqu'à Samoëns

40 minutes of walking on the road, quite dangerous, good amount of cars but noone stopping even if there's only one way
But the guy that took us was really kind

Doesn't feel that safe but a shitton of cars and decent space to pull over. Don't forget a sign.

Okay spot, at the time of this review there is construction work going on when approaching the highway so just walk down there and stand on what was previously the bus-lane and you will catch all traffic going out the tunnel as well. Fyi there are signs that say walking there is illigal so be careful

Very easy to get a lift to lausanne, after you are on the highway get off on La Cote rest stop if you need to go far into switzerland

Very few cars stopping for a rest stop here and continuing on east it seems, mostly locals, but due to highway construction i think cars heading east will choose the road leading east instead of going back on the highway. Got picked up anyway by a crew of italian skiers, great times.

couldn't agree more with the review below. this really sucked towards switzerland, most ppl were going east to the french alps. ended up taking a lift to the tolls 5km further and had much better luck there.
it is however a useful stop to ask for a big piece of cardboard to make a sign for the toll, the bigger the better - staff kindly helped out.

an easy spot for cars to stop. if you're lucky you might find someone that goes to Bellegarde station.

I just landed in Geneva Airport and tried to get BlaBlaBus to Grenoble, but it got canceled :/

So I just found this spot on Google maps and decided to give it a try. There's enough space for cars to pull over, but not for trucks. And the road turns directly to the highway.

A lot of French drivers, who work in Geneva and live in France go this way. Took some time but got a great company on the way and it was easier once in France.

Not the most perfekt but Very good
A lot of cars go by slowly but the rich suiss people don’t really like hitchhikers
And at this time of the year it’s cold

Very good spot to go direction Annecy, Lyon. There is a plenty of spot for the car to stop, cars go slow, petrol station is nearby ( you can try to ask people there). Took me less than 30 min to get a ride to Annecy on Sunday morning

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!

Very good spot. Cara go quite slow. With a paper with the place you go quite easy. I took a ride to Lyon.

Good spot, have used it many times.

wait after gas station, you can ask people but sign works fine. To get there take local train to chambésy then walk 5 minutes. Best luck during morning and evening rush hour. Have never waited longer than 1h
