====The church====
{{Main article|Notre Dame des Neiges, L'Alpe d'Huez}}
Alpe d'Huez has a modern and original church, the appearance of which recalls a silhouette of the [[Mary (mother of Jesus)|Virgin Mary]]. Under the leadership of Father Jaap Reuten, head of the parish from 1964 to 1992, it was designed by the architect Jean Marol in the 1960s (completed in 1970), and decorated with colour-rich stained-glass windows by the artist [[Arcabas]].

This church houses a [[pipe organ]] which is unique in the world. The organ takes the form of a hand drawn up towards the sky, designed by composer [[Jean Guillou]] and the German organ builder [[Detlef Kleuker]]. Each year, concerts are held around this instrument on Thursday night, winter and summer, as well as organ, pan flute and choral courses during the summer.
