The Autostrada A5 or Autostrada della Valle d'Aosta ("Aosta Valley motorway"), in French Autoroute de la Vallée d'Aoste, is an autostrada (Italian for "motorway"), which connects Turin and the Aosta Valley to France via Ivrea, through the Mont Blanc Tunnel, in northern Italy.

Ranked among the most advanced motorways in the country, as it is equipped with special heating systems to prevent the formation of ice on the road surface, it is 143.4 kilometres (89.1 mi) long and is the most expensive motorway in Italy.[1]
