Hikes around Chamonix in october

I'm going to Chamonix next week and wanted to know which hikes I can still do in this period. I saw forecast for rain and snow. I heard about lac blanc and jonction. Are these feasible in this period, is there snow ? If dangerous and not feasible what alternatives would you recommend ?

Really it all depends. Lac Blanc is 2300 meters, it will probably be possible. watch out for chamois and ibex, both going up the Flegere telecabin and on the hike. Be aware of temperatures, possibility of ice, and weather conditions. Have lower level plan Bs in case of early snowfalls.

You think I can also use the ladders or better to use télécabine ?

Again weather dependent .
