family mid-March trip to Wengen or Murren - Lauterbrunnen Valley

Hello!
Considering traveling to either Wengen / Murren / Grindelwald from Paris in mid-March for 3 nights with a 9 and 11 year old. A few questions:

Has anyone visited these locations in March? If so, do you recommend it for kids at that time of year? We will have two full days there and two partial days. This is not a lot of time. Do you think it is still doable?

Also, does anyone have advice on how to coordinate travel between France and Switzerland? We were thinking of taking the train. I think it takes about 6 hours with 4 train stops which is not ideal but we like the idea of not having to drive. I have read about Swiss family pass for the trains in Switzerland. Is this recommended?

Thanks!

If one of the parents gets a Swiss Travel Pass or a Half Fare Card, then they can get to free Family Card and the kids ride with you free.

Remember, mid March is still ski season in the Berner Oberland. I am not sure if the Family Card is valid on the lifts or trains above Wengen or Muerren, but I could be wrong.
