→Option 2. Service Station directly on the A9. (Lario Est)
To Lago di Como it is quick to get a ride from 45°29'59.9"N 9°07'50.6"E. Off the record: if you are taking the train from Como back to Milan after 21, they almost never check tickets.
==== Option 2. Service Station directly on the A9. (Lario Est) ====
You can take a regional train heading towards Como and get off at Cadorago. (Very unlikely to get checked for a ticketbut there is a barrier at Milano Cadorna.) . Then cross the parking lot at the station to the roundabout. Then heading away from the tracks, follow Via Roma for about 500 meters until SP26 (Via Alessandro Volta). Turn right and go about 600 meters to via Giacomo Puccini. Turn right and go about 400 meters and you will arrive at the service station. Unfortunately, the gate on the back was closed when I got there. I tried asking the attendant, who just arrived through the gate, and she said it was closed and I would have to go around. There is a fence all around the Autostrada but when you go far enough north there is a small hole in the fence (close to the tunnel). You have to fight your way through thorny blackberry bushes though. After that you can walk back from the other side of the fence. From here you should easily be able to find a ride into Switzerland and across the Alps.
