Driving in October

Hi all, we're planning on driving from Munich to Zugspitze return via Fussen mid-October and wondered if all the roads would be open; not sure what the weather is like at this time? Would you recommend this road trip?
Thanks,
Jean

Unless you get under an October snowstorm it should not be a problem. The Autobahns and most secondary roads (Landstrassse) are well maintained in inclement snowy weather, plowed and with plenty of salt. Make sure your rental has snow tires. Usually October is the time to change from summer to winter tires in Bavaria. Any experience driving in freezing temps and in snow?

Maybe this is better served in the German Forum...

As we grew up in Ottawa, ON Canada and live North East of Toronto, we have had plenty of experience driving in Winter conditions...
I'll ask in the German Forum...
Thanks mchpp,
