Originally posted the following in the roads section, but no responces so far. Wondered if anyone here can help?

The following Mito promotional video was filmed in the Dolomites - I recognise some of the roads including the Passo di Valparola but does anyone recognise the one that runs into tunnels set into the side of a cliff (reminisant of the Passo San Boldo), and/or the one that features all the open tunnels - on the video it's the one where the Mito's rear brake lights are shown.

Dunno, but the vid is glorious and very well presented.

I'd suggest you ask on the blog that's linked from that site and then come back and tell us! Likening a Mito to an 8c is a bit naughty though isn't it?

Good idea - I've already e-mailed Alfa Romeo & waiting on a reply.

There are loads of brilliant roads in the Dolomites but I don't recognise that particular one and my trusty Touring Club Italiano 1:200000 doesn't show any likely candidates - you'd think someone would know!

I think the video has been entirely produced on FALZAREGO pass (from Cortina d'Ampezzo to Badia Valley): it's an incredible road!

Bits of it may have been - agree it's a fantastic road - I did it (several times) in 2007. Don't recall that it had the tunnels though.
