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).

For overnight stays there is l a gate at the south end of the gas station you can access the forest without jumping a fence. I stood at the island at the very edge of the service station before the motorway so all the cars could see you. Had a sign to interlaken but went to andermatt with the driver because he was a good yarn.

Lots of cars/ trucks commuting between coasts, got a ride to the start of a hike near Otira. This is probably the busiest hitching spot in the country the weekend before coast2coast as everyone is training, if your feeling generous I had some fun as a free shuttle driver last year.

Good spot on paper but have served my time at this spot over 3 or so times (usually 40 mins to an hour) There is not much traffic but there is free wifi at the wrinkly ram for whenever you take a break for a beer. Also the only spot I’ve arrived at when other hitchhikers are already waiting!

Timing is not everything, but it was a whole damn lot here, don’t stand here at 7am, go back to sleep. I watched the DOC worker drive to the office then head out to the field an hour later. Saw another dude moving boats up and down the road multiple times, felt more like a landmark than a hitchhiker. (Sign to wanaka)

Good spot for a cigarette if I smoked cigarettes. You’ll get a ride I just can’t tell you how long it’ll take. First time at this spot I got a ride south easy enough, second time a mate and I stood on either side of the road willing to go whichever way the road took us (it took us south)

(Towards Christchurch) you’ll get a ride from here so get a pie first then start thumbing. The locals window on the left hand side of fairlie bakehouse for you to skip the queue and get back on the road.

Good spot heading east. We had a HUGE sign to Cromwell (maybe 2x1m), we walked backwards down the road holding the sign. Everyone loved it. Ended up in twizel instead lol. They also offered my American hitching mate a job in North Carolina doing physics!

Stood here in the sun/ rain/ hail (30 mins) towards chch, truckie felt bad for me but maybe I should have stayed here because Lindis pass was snowed up, have never seen less out of a front windscreen.

Have stood here twice and got a ride twice within 20 mins or so. Lots of stopping space too. No shade in the rain but there is a point just before your a drenched rat that people feel bad for you and aren’t overly worried about you saturating the inside of their car.

Cars are going slow enough to see you and there is space for them to stop. Got a ride after maybe 30 mins. Was only planning a trip to farlie bakehouse but after me and the driver got a pie I kept going with him to Queenstown because he was a good yarn.

Don’t hit the pokies just stand at this spot, sometimes I’ve gotten a ride in 10 mins, other times ive stood here for 2 hours. Loads of stopping space either direction. I think dancing might help

Hitched from the bus bay heading towards Chur. Got picked up my a mate from university in New Zealand! Never thought I’d get a ride from a kiwi mate on the other side of the planet. Great catch up. Probably a good spot to get a ride anyway.

Surprisingly good spot headed towards Lichtenstein, got a ride through to Austria. Cars from every direction can see you for a while and there is lots of stopping space. Most people driving slow enough to stop too. Driver picked us up because our sign was his destination (Feldkirch)

Sometimes hitchhiking feels like ethical gambling. Will we get a ride? Where will we go? Where will I sleep tonight? This is one of those spots. Got very lucky with a ride to Innsbruck from a woman who thought we were both young girls (I’m a dude with long hair).

Unexpectedly good spot for hitching towards Zell am Ziller. Got the most smiles/ waves/ gestures from passing cars than anywhere else in Austria. A kind lady who wasn’t even going our direction drove us all the way there because she wanted to help. People are lovely.

Stood outside hostel place/ on side road. Good spot heading towards gerlos/ mittersill. Locals loved our “irgendwo” sign (somewhere), It’s especially useful when there is only one road for cars to go. Got picked up by some kind Germans on holiday.

good spot to hitch from. We were there from 8:30am on a Thursday, waited maybe an hour. Dude + chick stood on either road at the end of gas station with signs to Zagreb. Got insanely lucky, ended up in a ride to central Serbia 750km away. Lived with him for 5 days and he showed us around his home village!

Hitched here multiple times. Good spot on paper. Stand anywhere before the spend sign, there are pullover bays everywhere in tinwald. Sometimes you get lucky with truckies or old ladies. Sometimes you just get ashburtoned.

Huge pullover parking bays for both directions all throughout town, often they are empty in the mornings and for much of the day. You’d be hard done by to not get a spot or a ride out of this place. Cafe also does mean pies too.

-43.5917, 172.3766

Hitched here 10+ times, great spot to get anywhere south from Christchurch. Note that especially on weekdays people aren’t going much further than Ashburton. If you do get picked up by someone doing short distance, rakaia is amazing to hitch out of, as well as the end of ashburton (tinwald), which is significantly better for continuing south than the middle of town in my experience.

Didn’t get a ride here but there would be enough space for a car to stop. The building on the other side of the road also gives shade until like 10am (July) which is the main plus here. Often cars stopped in stupid places so other cars would slow down to get around which meant they saw us more.

Maybe it was a ok spot. We were dissociating and delusional from the heat. The gas station worker kept coming up to us say we were crazy, locals told us to get a bus. Dunked my hat in the fountain nearby to cool off, it was hot but wet at least. Take what you will from this.

Good spot. Very hot. The kid at the store nearby will sell you water for “whatever you can afford”. If you fancy a swim the pool at the nearby luxury resort also has poor security…

True beauty. Worth a visit just to see this spot. So much stopping space for cars, beautiful swiss valley, your own PERSONAL port-a-loo, a cafe with inconsistent hours, irregular cars. Ended up in a ride before I could use the toilet. I will be back for you.

Heading towards brig. Bad spot, only motorbikes and sports cars, felt like I was standing in a different tax bracket. Served 2 hours to the road. If your a climber clearly display your rope/ shoes for a better chance for other climbers to pick you up up. Ended up having to ask the least snobby people I could find.

Good spot heading towards andermatt. Got picked up by some Swiss dudes blasting German techno the whole drive. Felt like being in a club. Gnarly sounds coming from their back right tire because there car was lowered and us + our bags were heavy.

Headed towards brig. We triedhitching from on-ramp with no success, got a ride from here quickly and there is some space for cars to stop. During the middle of the day most people get 1.5-2 hours break from work so they drive home for lunch, so it’s a good time to hitch all-be-it short rides.

Reasonable spot to hitch heading into tunnel towards sion. From our inspection it seemed to have the most space for cars to stop. Also there is shade for bags and for you.
