I looked at examples of these two perhaps too briefly.  The former is defined as "across" and the latter as "through" but it's not clear.  If there isn't a pattern, it would at least be helpful to know which is used more often and I'll use that when I'm unsure.

merci d'avance

Hello,

en travers has an idea of an obstacle like something blocking a railway track for instance: une voiture en travers de la voie

à travers means to cross something, to walk across/ through/ like marcher à travers  champs/ bois
