Confidence votes 818. The Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca had to cross 2 mountain ranges on his overland route fom Hispania ( modern day Spain ) to Italy. In the spring of 218 B.C., he left his winter camp in north east Spain and crossed the mountains of the Pyrenees. After crossing the Rhone River, his army including the remaining war-elephants, reached the Alps by the autumn of that year. The crossing of the Alps mountain range was arguably the most difficult section of the journey. It is believed that the crossing of the Alps in wintery conditions reduced his Army to almost half the size that had entered Gaul.
Ironically, Hamilcar drowned in 228BC on the back of an elephant. After his father's death, Hannibal jumped into action. At the helm of a well-trained army, and with his father's great herd, he set out for Rome to seek revenge. The plan was to sneak the elephants over the Alps, and surprise the Romans. Sneaking an army and thirty-seven elephants over a mountain range turned out to be trickier than Hannibal thought. The grueling fifteen day march cost him half his army, and ended up being a little less than a surprise.
