Notre Dame des Neiges, Modern church in Alpe d'Huez, France
Notre Dame des Neiges features circular concrete frames, a copper roof, and a translucent glass dome that allows natural light to fill the interior space.
The church replaced a wooden chapel and was constructed between 1968 and 1970, coinciding with the preparation for the Winter Olympic Games in the region.
The interior contains 13 stained glass windows created by artist Arcabas, depicting scenes from the Gospel of Saint Mark throughout the nave.
The church welcomes visitors daily from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM, with guided tours organized weekly by the museum of Huez and Oisans.
The church houses an organ designed in the shape of an outstretched hand, built by German craftsman Detlef Kleuker according to composer Jean Guillou's specifications.
