How Valais differs from the Switzerland calculator

Valais sets its holidays in its cantonal ordinance on work (OcTr, 822.100, art. 7): Nouvel-An, Saint-Joseph (19 March), Ascension, Fête-Dieu, Assomption (15 August), Toussaint (1 November), Immaculée Conception (8 December) and Noël, which with 1 August makes nine days. Against this site's eight-day Swiss baseline the rows drop Vendredi saint (Good Friday), Lundi de Pâques (Easter Monday), Lundi de Pentecôte (Whit Monday) and Saint-Étienne (26 December), which are working days in this count, and add Saint-Joseph, Fête-Dieu (4 June 2026, 27 May 2027 and 15 June 2028), Assomption, Toussaint and Immaculée Conception.
