Much of the exact route is not known, or is just educated guesswork. Hannibal's army entered the Alps from the Rhone River Valley. Some good evidence suggests they passed the the Gorge de Gas. Then they descended somewhere in the vicintiy of present day Turin. There is a bunch of rumor and speculation about the exact route and it will probably remain one of history's mysteries forever unless someone finds some archeological evidence to clarify everything.

The exact location IS NOT KNOWN...Only that .Hannibal set out on his legendary march from New Carthage (Cartagena, Spain) in 218 BCE. At first he crossed the Pyrenees; later he traversed the Alps through narrow and dangerous passes of up to more than 2000 metres above sea level. The exact crossing is not known, but it was probably somewhere between the Little St. Bernard and Mt. Geveva passes.
