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 2032 and 2033 have as few.
- Falling on a weekend: Labour Day (Sat 1 May), Swiss National Day (Sun 1 Aug) and Christmas Day (Sat 25 Dec). As a rule, there is no entitlement to a substitute day.
- In 2027, New Year's Day (Fri 1 Jan) also gives 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: Ascension Day and Corpus Christi, 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 Jura?
In Jura, 1 May is a public holiday. Berchtold's Day, Assumption Day, All Saints' Day and 23 June, the anniversary of the plebiscite, are cantonal rest days, but working days under employment law.
What is behind “Jura Independence Day”?
On 23 June 1974, the people of the Jura, then part of the canton of Bern, voted by almost 52 per cent for a canton of their own. The districts of Delémont, Franches-Montagnes and Porrentruy formed the new canton, while the other Jura districts opted for Bern in 1975. After approval by the Swiss electorate on 24 September 1978, the canton of Jura was founded on 1 January 1979. 23 June is celebrated as Independence Day. Since 1 January 2026, the municipality of Moutier has also been part of the canton of Jura.
