Public holidays and school holidays

A school holiday does not necessarily mean a public holiday. Dates can vary between cantons, municipalities and schools. For a specific trip or appointment, select the municipality and check the detailed information. Use the date selector to check tomorrow or another date, or open the calendar for a yearly view.

The municipality-level school holiday data covers summer, autumn and Christmas 2026. Christmas periods may end in January 2027; this does not provide a complete 2027 school holiday calendar.
