May want to look at a map instead of drawing "Alps" on one. Not only is there passes, but a not insignificant coastal strip. Going up the peninsula not as hard as you think - they just did not have the numbers otl, and used terrible plannimg (hence, Anzio and Cassino) there. Want to get around? Land troops ala~ Dragoon in SE France. Or commit another division to Anzio. Easy. There is a ton of routes around the problem.
