Feiertage Wallis

Feiertage Wallis is a Smart Calendar Feed listing the public holidays observed in the Swiss canton of Valais, where cantonal practice combines Switzerland's federal dates with a notably Catholic pattern of religious observance. The feed includes Bundesfeiertag alongside recurring dates such as Auffahrt, Pfingstsonntag, Pfingstmontag, Fronleichnam, Mariä Himmelfahrt, Allerheiligen and Mariä Empfängnis. It also captures social and civic markers such as Tag der Arbeit, Muttertag, Vätertag and Bettagsmontag, which together show how the Wallis calendar extends beyond the narrow set of Swiss-wide public holidays. That local mix matters because holiday recognition, closures and reduced service patterns can differ significantly from canton to canton. For residents, employers, schools, municipal offices and anyone planning travel in Valais, the value of this feed is that it reflects the recurring rhythm actually used in Wallis rather than a generic Switzerland-only list. The calendar is built around all-day observances that return each year, making it useful for identifying long weekends, church-year feasts and dates that can affect business hours, administration and family scheduling. The presence of both Eidg. Dank-, Buss- und Bettag and Bettagsmontag is particularly characteristic, while year-end markers such as Heiliger Abend and Weihnachtstag help complete the practical holiday sequence used in the canton. That specificity is useful in a bilingual alpine canton where local holiday habits shape everyday coordination. The feed is free to subscribe and works with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook, so holiday dates sit beside meetings, accommodation plans and school calendars without manual copying. Because several Wallis observances move with Easter or the wider liturgical year, automatic updates are useful for keeping the schedule aligned as dates shift. Feiertage Wallis therefore serves as a canton-specific planning reference for anyone who needs Swiss federal holidays and Valais religious observances in the same calendar view.
