The Independent featured a brief overview of some of the best adventure
sports festivals to be held around the world this year. They mention the Icarus Cup held in southern France each September, a high-flying air
sports spectacle. Daredevils may also want to drop in on the World Freefall
Festival, to be held in Quincy, IL in late July. If you prefer your adventure closer to the ground, why not
consider a trip to the Giro del Trentino mountain-bike festival in Riva
del Garda, Italy in late April. Or in the US, at the Sea Otter Classic Bike
Festival, which brings over 10,000 bikers to Monterey, CA. The article also offers up suggestions for ski and
snowboard festivals in Whistler, British Columbia and Mayrhofen, Austria, andsome kayaking and mountain sport options
too. It’s a great roundup piece to help get you planning an adventure trip for the new year.
