Every canton of Switzerland has its own public holiday calendar. Some holidays may not be observed in certain cantons while some other are specific to only a certain town or village. There is only one federal holiday in Switzerland - the Swiss National Day. It is set on 1 August and observed in all 26 cantons. New Year’s Day, Ascension, and Christmas Day are also public holidays, traditionally celebrated throughout the country. Help us Help us
