I was quite upset when I found out I have no more public holidays until Christmas due to holidays falling on weekends, and that next year, the gap between public holidays is even worse in Bern at least. I wanted to see what each year looked like and when it started to repeat, so I built a site that did just that. I added some other features then that I found useful. https://cantonholidays.ch/ What it shows: The per-canton count of holiday days lost to weekends, averaged over a 28-year cycle Any date in 2026 lands on the same weekday again in 2054, the calendar repeats every 28 years. So averaging across 2026–2053 covers one complete cycle. (The strictly-exact full repeat is 400 years because of century-year leap rules) A comparison view for two or three cantons side by side, I found the others I found a bit hard to read and I found this a bit easier! An .ics calendar download you can import into Google Calendar or any calendar app, I personally wanted one so I could see what holidays me and my partner shared as we work in different Cantons. A global ranking page for context. I just compared OECD countries, I wanted to do the whole world but hard to get data on some countries. Happy to hear what’s broken or missing, any bad translations, especially anything canton-specific I got wrong. submitted by /u/Equivalent-Number601
