The Aple d'Huez prides itself on the Notre-Dame des Neiges church. Its construction was commissioned at the time of the Grenoble Games in 1968, and it was completed in 1970 with the support of parishioners.

The church definitely merits a visit for its architectural value. At first glance, the facade and high tower seem rather conventional but as one tours the structure, its tent-shaped form is revealed. The interior boasts an organ in the form of an outstretched hand, which is unique in the world. The stained glass was designed by Arcabas and depicts the major scenes in Christ's life. Nowadays, the Notre-Dame des Neiges church is a major asset in Aple d'Huez and attracts lots of visitors.
