This Federal State Postpones the Semester Break in 2027

The semester break in 2027 will be moved from the second to the third week of February in Vorarlberg. This is stipulated by a regulation from the Ministry of Education. This avoids a collision with the carnival week.

Due to Carnival: Semester Break 2027 Postponed in Vorarlberg

Actually, the School Time Act schedules the Vorarlberg semester break (together with Carinthia, Tyrol, Burgenland, and Salzburg) for the second week of February. However, representatives from the tourism industry, parents, and teachers, as well as the state, have agreed that in years when the semester break and carnival week coincide, a postponement, as permitted by law, will be requested. The goal is to manage the influx of vacationers due to holiday dates in other countries or states and to utilize tourism facilities more evenly.

Postponement Legally Possible

The School Time Act allows for a one-week postponement of the semester break, "provided that neither traffic policy reasons nor supra-regional interests oppose this postponement." Another requirement is identical applications from the state and the education directorate.
