[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Swiss National Day is the national holiday of Switzerland, which falls on August 1. The date was inspired by the signing of the Federal Charter in early August 1291, when the three cantons Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden formed an alliance. In 1889 it was suggested that the day should be used to celebrate the foundation of the Swiss Confederacy, but only since 1994 has the day been an official national holiday.<\/p>\n

The main difference between Switzerland’s National Day and national holidays in other european countries is that it is a specific celebration within local communities.<\/p>\n
