2 trips to Morzine last winter in my 340i . Winter tyres work.
Practice putting your chains on , nothing worse than kneeling on the road in the snow at night trying work out how they go on...
Snow socks on the front if you want to be double safe but watch out they shred quickly on any bit of tarmac.
In reality only needed chains once in all the years I have driven and that was to get to Ste Foy after a big dump.
A lot depends on where you going , eg Morzine is low and the roads will nearly always be clear unless you are arriving v.late at night in a storm , then a small risk the snow ploughs haven’t been out. On the other hand the road up to Avoriaz when it’s dumping can be completely different.
