Snow activities on March?
 
Planning to go this MID March with kids to Switzerland for sledding, snowshoe, hiking snow scenery. Do you thing Klosters is a good idea? Or should I stay on the safe side like zermatt or Titlis?
Is there usually enough snow on the slopes in Klosters so only go up with cable car? Should I expect rain in the village itself?

what would you suggest? I see that even then Klosters and all other places are not cheap at all.

The question on weather is distorted by Climate Change and the problems of weather in the mountains, no one knows.

Not cheap is correct

Nothing is cheap in Switzerland.

We too, were planning a return to Switzerland in March, but haven't yet decided.

It's still winter in the high alps, the higher the altitude, the more likely you'll find snow.

This site shows average snow in Klosters, but who knows these days?

Here are the projected closing dates for Swiss ski resorts, which might give you an idea of what to expect:

As above, nobody knows. May be thee will be no snow at Klosters. But there will be snow in the mountains around Kostgers and Davos which can all be rfeached by cableways: Gotschna, Schatzalp, Rinerhorn, etc.
Ypu may also check family ski areas at higher altitude like Riederalp, Bettmeralp,Saas Fee, Avers, Samnaun.....
