I'm in lauterbrunnen at the moment. I have one day here and 2 days in Lucerne. However there's no snow anywhere. Where would you suggest go to see snow. We have the Swiss travl pass. And unfortunately Jungfrau not in our budget. Please help me.

According to the live webcam there is plenty of snow at Männlichen:

From Lauterbrunnen take the train to Wengen (included in the Swiss Pass), walk across the village to the cable car station up to Männlichen (discount with the Swiss Pass).

When you are in Luzern, take a day trip up Titlis. This is an hourly train from Luzern station to Engelberg, then three cable cars up to the summit.
The summit of Titlis is above the permanent snow line (3000 metres). There is a small glacier you can go inside (ice cave), and across on a chair lift or on a bridge. Plus some snow activities for kids.

Looks like spring is here. Only patches of snow at the top of Pilatus: https://pilatus.roundshot.com/
Duration: 4-5 hours from Lucerne

Edgar, yes, it was 20°C today down here in the lowlands. But Titlis (3238 m) is a lot higher than Pilatus (2128 m), and has a small permanent icecap.
