Good to know

What is special about 2025?
  • In 2025, eight public holidays fall on a weekday; between 2024 and 2035 it is 5 to 8, depending on the year.
  • Falling on a weekend: All Saints' Day (Sat 1 Nov). As a rule, there is no entitlement to a substitute day.
  • In 2025, Epiphany (Mon 6 Jan), Swiss National Day (Fri 1 Aug), Assumption Day (Fri 15 Aug) and St. Stephen's Day (Fri 26 Dec) also give you a long weekend without taking leave.
  • Easter is late in 2025, on 20 April. Ascension Day (29 May) and Whitsun (8 June) are correspondingly late.
  • The most worthwhile bridges: Labour Day, Ascension Day and Corpus Christi, each with 1 day of leave for 4 days off in a row. Calculate all bridge days in 2025
What is different in the canton of Ticino?

In Ticino, Good Friday is not a holiday, and in Valais it is not a public holiday either. Epiphany (6 January), on the other hand, is a public holiday here, the only canton where this is the case. St. Joseph's Day, 1 May, Whit Monday, Corpus Christi, Saints Peter and Paul (29 June) and the Immaculate Conception are cantonal rest days, but working days under employment law.
