About tyres :

The last two times, I drove all the way with the Conti 760 135/70-15 M+S wintertyres.
They are *very* good in the snow, and quite ok on ice.

I will do the same this time, and have snow chains in case of emergency.
It is ok to drive without spikes with good, new tyres.
It is even better to have good, new snow tyres than old, bad spikes.
