  1. Does anyone have a good resource that identifies where the tunnels are in
    Italy in the Alps and Dolomites?

    TCI (Touring Club Italiano) regional maps show tunnels and a lot of
    other detail, like the small secondary or tertiary roads that frequently
    bypass tunnels with a lot of climbing and meandering. Get TCI maps from
    www.trektools.com.

    I've also used Google Earth once I located a tunnel, just to see what I
    was dealing with.

    Yes, but be sure you are looking at the recentmost edition of the
    1/20000 TCI Atlas. New tunnels are being built or just made by joining
    previous shorter stretches.
    Also, be aware: not all of them are lit. And some may indeed be
    dangerous.

    When I was faced with a tunnel through the Alps during my bicycling trip
    from Italy to Germany through Austria, I elected to take the train through
    the tunnel instead. The reason is I bicycled through a tunnel somewhere
    else once and I didn't like it.
