Hiking advice

Hey all!

In October I’ll travel to Switzerland for a family visit and some hiking. I’m thinking of summiting Mount Säntis. For those who have done that: will the trail to the summit be accessible and safe? Since I’ll be there around the 25th of October, I expect there to be some snow already. I have the experience and stamina to do a hike like this, but I am unsure whether October is too late in the season.

Thanks in advance!
