Actually, convention wisdom is that H made it over the Alps with his elephants intact - he used them at Trebbia. Most of them died that winter, and he didn't have any by the time of the battle of Cannae.
So, searching the Alps for elephant bones wouldn't help us know where Hannibal crossed, but horses shit EVERY where.
