It toke 3 years!
The above answer is incorrect. It did not take Hannibal three years to cross the Alps. From the start of his ascent of the Alps to his arrival in Northern Italy it took 16 days according to Livy. This underscores the remarkable achievement of the crossing by Hannibal.
Hannibal ascended the Alps near the pass by Mt. Du Chat. From there, he went along the Reclus River, to the Valley of Little St. Bernard. From there, the descent was to the plains which were near the Po.
