The Serra Tramuntana mountain range on the Spanish island of Mallorca is a hikers’ paradise, with trails of all levels of difficulty, stunning scenery and a wealth of flora and fauna. The range extends for over 100 km (62 miles) along the north-west coast of the island, with the highest peak, Puig Major, at 1,445 metres (4,741 feet).
The Tramuntana mountain range has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, thanks to its natural beauty and the traditional way of life that is still practised in the villages that dot the range. There are many different hiking trails to choose from in the Serra Tramuntana, catering for all levels of fitness and experience.
One of the most popular routes is the “Stone Route”, which takes in some of the most spectacular scenery in the range. The route starts in the village of Soller and winds its way up to the summit of Puig Major, via the villages of Deià and Escorca. The hike takes around six hours to complete and is considered to be moderately difficult.
Another popular route is the “Torrent Pareis”, which leads down to the beach at Sa Calobra. The hike takes around four hours to complete and is considered to be moderately difficult.
For cyclists, Mallorca offers plenty of opportunities for a challenging ride. One of the most popular routes is the “Cami de Cavalls”, a 200 km (124 mile) trail that circumnavigates the entire island. The trail starts and finishes in the town of Alcúdia and takes around four days to complete.
