Advice for itinerary for non hikers/non skiers in winter

Hello!
We will staying in Wengen from the 25th-28th of March. The forecast shows snow. I am pregnant and we have an 8 year old so we can only manage easy and relatively short hikes. My daughter would love to play in the snow but none of us plan to ski. We definitely want to see as many breathtaking views as we can. Will many sights be closed because of the weather? What are some good hikes/sights/ experiences/kid-friendly activities we should add to our itinerary? Most itineraries are for the middle of winter or summer so I would love any advice you all can give me. Thank you in advance!

It depends in snow cover and overall trails conditions, but the lovely walk between Grütschalp and Mürren is almost always open. We have done it I winter when the trail is groomed after a snowfall as well as in rain and shine in the fall and later spring. The valley elk from Stechelberg to Lauterbrunnen is delightful in any weather and you can ride the train the Kleine Scheidegg to get a good dose of snow without hiking. In Wengen there are a couple of easy walks, the Staubbachbänklii and the Mönchblick. Ask at the TI what conditions are and what they recommend . The TI is near the Männlichen lift base station. BTW, riding up to Männlichen is beautiful too, and there will be snow there as well as a playground.
