What the three types mean
- Cantonal rest day
- Public rest day under cantonal law, e.g. shops are closed. Under employment law it is a working day.
- Customary day off
- Not a public holiday, but many employers give the day off. Your employment contract decides whether you are off.

Good to know
What is special about 2027?
- In 2027, only six public holidays fall on a weekday. Between 2024 and 2035, only 2026 and 2032 have as few.
- Falling on a weekend: Swiss National Day (Sun 1 Aug), Christmas Day (Sat 25 Dec) and St. Stephen's Day (Sun 26 Dec). As a rule, there is no entitlement to a substitute day.
- In 2027, New Year's Day (Fri 1 Jan) and All Saints' Day (Mon 1 Nov) also give you a long weekend without taking leave.
- Easter is early in 2027, on 28 March. Ascension Day (6 May) and Whitsun (16 May) are correspondingly early.
- The most worthwhile bridges: Näfelser Fahrt and Ascension Day, each with 1 day of leave for 4 days off in a row. Calculate all bridge days in 2027
What is different in the canton of Glarus?
In Glarus, Easter Monday is a public holiday, whereas Whit Monday is only a cantonal rest day and therefore a working day under employment law. The canton has its own holiday: the Näfelser Fahrt in April.
What is behind “Näfelser Fahrt”?
The Näfelser Fahrt commemorates the Battle of Näfels on 9 April 1388, in which the people of Glarus and their allies defeated a Habsburg army despite being clearly outnumbered. Since then, the battle has been commemorated every year in early April with a procession to the battlefield and the memorial stones. After the Reformation, the Catholics long celebrated alone; only in 1835 did the people of Glarus agree on a joint ceremony.
