Switzerland is a country in Western Europe.

In Switzerland people speak three different languages, depending on the area you are hanging around: German in the north and east, Italian in the south and 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 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 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.
