Good to know
Only 1 August is a federal public holiday. Cantons set up to eight more, so the list differs from canton to canton; New Year’s Day, Ascension and Christmas are observed everywhere.
Six cantons are modelled here. For other cantons, choose the national days and add your canton’s holidays as extra days off.
Count the days between two dates, minus these holidays, with the Switzerland working days calculator.

Questions
Is Labour Day a holiday in Switzerland?
Only in some cantons — of those here, Zurich, Basel-Stadt and Ticino. Elsewhere 1 May is a normal working day.
How far ahead and back does the Switzerland calendar go?
Any year from 1990 to 2100, worked out from the holiday rules — fixed dates, Easter, nth weekdays and the substitution rules — with known one-off holidays and start and end years applied. Dates a government proclaims each year can change, so check official sources for future years.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. The holiday rules and every calculation run in your browser, and the PDF, calendar file and CSV are made on your device. Nothing you type — dates, extra days off — leaves it.
