Who led Carthage to victory over the Romans in the second Punic Wars?

Carthage did not win over the Romans. The Second punic War was an invasion of Italy by Hannibal Barca. He Routed the armies of the Romans and her Italic allies three times and won some other battles. However, he lost the war. He was eventually cornered into mountainous Calabria (the toe of Italy) and was stuck there for three years until he was recalled to fight the Romans in Tunisia (Carthage's homeland). Moreover, this was Hannibal's war, not Carthage's. His family had conquered southern Spain and ruled it as a private domain. Hannibal conducted a war for revenge. Although many people in Carthage supported him, many objected to it. In fact, Carthage did not provide any aid to Hannibal when he was in need.

What person led his army over the Alp mountains during the winter?

Hannibal led his army, along with many horses and several elephants, across the Alps during the winter in an attempt to ambush the Roman general Scipio's army. Since Hannibal was from Carthage, they were expecting him to come from there, but instead, he went up and attacked them from north of Rome. This was a failed attempt though, because Scipio then attacked Carthage, forcing Hannibal to return home and defend his country.
