Obwalden Public Holidays 2027

Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: October 8, 2026

The 2027 table for Obwalden lists 10 dates: 6 fall on a weekday and 4 on a weekend. That leaves 255 working days in 2027. Like the Switzerland calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.

How Obwalden differs from the Switzerland calculator

Obwalden's law on public rest days (GDB 975.2, Art. 2) lists as holidays Neujahr, Auffahrt, Fronleichnam, the Bundesfeiertag, Mariä Himmelfahrt (15 August), the Bruderklausenfest (25 September), Allerheiligen (1 November) and Mariä Empfängnis (8 December), and Karfreitag and Weihnachten (25 December) among its high feast days. Easter Monday, Whit Monday and 26 December are not in the law, so this page counts them as working days. Against this site's eight-day Swiss baseline that adds five days and drops three. Bruder Klaus falls on a Friday in 2026, a Saturday in 2027 and a Monday in 2028.
