Mini-Wings Demonstration Flights
Air Show: Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th September 2026 in St-Hilaire and across the sky.
Mini-wing flying encompasses several disciplines of free flight characterized by wings that are smaller, faster, and more dynamic than those used in traditional paragliding.
During the Coupe Icare, several speed-flying and parakite demonstrations are scheduled:
- in waves from the North takeoff point during the Icarnaval event between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
- from the Dent de Crolles at the opening of Icarnaval (11 a.m.) and/or at the opening of the Icare Show (6 p.m.)
- via helicopter D-Bag drops, with a paragliding aerobatics demonstration, between 12 p.m. and 12:45 p.m.
All events are visible from Saint-Hilaire and from the Lumbin landing site.
The program and schedule are subject to change depending on weather conditions and the Flight Control Center.
