This was surprisingly underwhelming. Also I can 100% guarantee you that you will not travel across the alps in the same amount of time in January as you would in July despite this page suggesting you will, so quite frankly I don't see what the season selection even does. For example Penne Locos to Augusta Praetoria leads over the great St Bernard Pass (yes where the dogs come from) has an elevation of about 2400m over sea level and in January an average temperature of -7°C and a couple of meters of snow covering it.

And why isn't "elephant" an option for mode of transit, especially for this route?
