'''Switzerland''' is a country in [[Western Europe]].
__NOTOC__
In '''Switzerland''' people speak three different languages, depending on the area you are hanging around: [[Germany|German]] in the north and east, [[Italy|Italian]] in the south and [[France|French]] in the western part of the country. There is a large percentage of foreigners, as well as many tourists. Most people will be able to understand some English.

Hitchhiking works very well in '''Switzerland''', especially in the mountain regions and small country roads, where it is quite common to pick up wanderers and hitchhikers. It's also quite easy to get lifts with truck drivers from [[Germany]] to [[Italy]] and back. There are not that many service stations along the highways, and some are not open 24 hours.

Since the mid-December 2008 Switzerland is officially part of the [[Schengen Agreement|Schengen Area]], and long existed cross-border passport checks are on a way to be abolished.

== Fare autostop al confine ==
Siccome non è legale fare autostop lungo l'autostrada (ma è possibile farlo nelle stazioni di servizio) dovreste evitare di farvi lasciare al confine.

L'utente Bikepunk è stato lasciato al confine sull'autostrada nei pressi di [[Ginevra]] e gli stato chiesto immediatamente di andare via da lì. (Tuttavia è riuscito a trovare un passaggio ugualmente, passando inosservato e facendo autostop in un posto nascosto dalla vista della polizia di confine)

== Camping ==
In Switzerland, everybody is legally allowed to use pasture and woods to a certain extent, including camping. The same goes for agriculturally not usable space such as public bodies of water, rock, snow or ice.

== Highway petrol stations ==
Here is a [http://www.acs.ch/ch-fr/pdf-public/Reisen/Autobahn-Restaurants_und_Tankstellen_in_der_Schweiz.pdf list of all the motorway petrol stations] of Switzerland. If you type the name of the petrol station in Google Maps you will find where exactly it is. This makes it much more comfortable to hitchhike.
