About this site

This website provides a clear overview of school holidays for all 26 Swiss cantons. Data is sourced from cantonal education departments and updated regularly.

Please always verify dates with the relevant cantonal authority, as dates may change.

The story behind the project

We noticed that Switzerland lacked a simple, multilingual overview of school holidays. Official data is scattered across 26 different cantonal websites. So we built this tool: one clear page for the whole country.

Data maintenance

Holiday data is updated annually based on official EDK publications. Provisional data is clearly marked.

Official source: Swiss Conference of Cantonal Ministers of Education (EDK/CDIP)
