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.

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.
