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") in Italy located in the regions of Piedmont and Aosta Valley, which connects Turin to France via Ivrea and Aosta, through the Mont Blanc Tunnel.
