Detailed description (English): An autumn meeting that can't be missed for all free flight enthusiasts, professionals and amateurs, but also for the general public. This meeting has been acclaimed for 49 years now! A great achievement, for an event that manages to innovate every year! Unique in its kind, the Coupe Icare welcomes you for six days of festivities, pilots and amateurs of free flight from all over the world, whether you are a professional or a memer of the general public. The unique topology of the Plateau des Petites Roches, at the top of a cliff and its immense landing area in Lumbin make it a unique and privileged site to allow the most beautiful and spectacular follies, in safety. Created in 1975 by a band of enthusiasts, it welcomes more than 90,000 spectators each year.
