Avoid tunnels at all costs. Re route as necessary. You can ride though them but believe me, you will never be as terrified on a bike again. Drivers don't think cyclists should use them and sound their horn at you, adding to the nightmare experience. Frankly, the Dolomites are over rated. Often very busy and used by bikers as a race track. Witnessed truly appalling driving there and was repeatedly ripped off at places very reticent to publish prices.Sicily, Tuscany, Spain much better. Corsica better if you want mountains.
