In an Interlaken Information booklet I just received, it mentions that every guest receives a "visitors' card (provided by hotel or landlord) which is valid throughthout the entire Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau Region. This visitors' card entitles him to the advantages mentioned in the "Jungfrau Magazine". Does anyone know what the "advantages" are with this card? They did not send me a copy of the Jungfrau Magazine. I am wondering if the card provides any type discounts for certain excursions etc. Thanks for any information you can provide.
Anyone know what Interlaken's "Vistors' Card" is for?

Since your question is nearing the Purgatory outside the first 50 postings, I'll venture a non-authorative answer. I've not been to Interlaken. However, Garmish-P also has visitors cards which sound like what you describe. Effectively, you pay a per-person tax for overnight stays. The card is proof of the stay. The card in Garmish-P provides transportation on the local bus system and possibly some limited train travel. It also serves as an entry ticket to some attractions -- e.g., a botanic garden -- which a day visitor (not a resident and without a visitor card) would have to pay for. I believe it did also provide for discounts at some attractions and/or excursions. I expect the Interlaken card would work much the same way.
Hi Mary. I have a tourist brochure from Interlaken that says the following less than helpful words about the Visitors' Card: "Every registered guest in Interlaken receives on arrival a Visitor's Card, entitling the holder to special offers and price reductions."
The Jungfrau Magazine that I reveived from the Interlaken Tourist Bureau, implies that card is useful in the summer for reductions on various activities such as the Tennisplatze -- a reduction 15%. There is a 20% reduction for curling. The only one that seems to me really useful is the discount on lift to Pfingstegg -- 20%
But nothing is said about a reduction on the First Gondola, which is a thrilling ride.
I guess you carry it around and ask if it is good for a discount. That is about the best I can tell you.
We had one for Lauterbrunnen, but never did figure out where it would help us save money.
