These are planning-relevant dates, not another public-holiday list. Use them to see clock changes, Fasnacht and carnival, Easter context, family days, Valentine's Day, Halloween, Saint Martin's Day, Samichlaus and Advent in the year.
Public holidays stay separate: every detail page states clearly whether work, school, shops, travel or family logistics are practically affected.

Event catalogue
These pages turn event dates into week planning, leave planning, calendar feeds or exportable data.
Start with the event status: a date can be useful for planning even when it is not a public holiday everywhere. The practical question is whether it changes school, work, shops, travel or family coordination in the selected canton.
Open the holiday planner when surrounding workdays matter, use calendar weeks for team planning, compare school holidays for family trips and keep confirmed dates in a calendar subscription.
Every event page states explicitly whether the date is a public holiday.
The focus is school, work, shops, travel and family coordination.
Calendar weeks and the planner handle the concrete schedule.
Planning events follow recurring calendar rules. Public-holiday status is kept separate and checked against Swiss statutory source context; school context uses official EDK calendar data where relevant.
