Tramuntana Tours - Adventure holidays in Mallorca

23 miles (37 kms) - One Way

We suggest taking the MA-2121 (the old PM212) from Soller to Fornalutx to start this tour.
Once through the pretty village of Fornalutx the road begins to steepen until you reach the MA-10 (the old C710) turn off.
Take a right here and follow the MA-10 heading east towards Lluc and Pollensa.
The climb up towards the Puig Mayor is a Category 1 climb, a little less than 10 miles long and rising 1000 metres.
The road is very scenic, with great views over Soller and the occasional stray sheep to keep you company.
Once through the tunnel at the top, you'll head first down and then up past the reservoirs of Cuber and on to Gorg Blau.
Once through a second smaller tunnel, you'll soon come to the Sa Calobra turn off. Follow the signs and the road begins to climb again for just over 2 miles.
Then it's downhill all the way to Sa Calobra via a spectacular mountain road with great views and tight hairpin bends.
Once in Sa Calobra, you can either bike back the same way you came or take the boat (20€ person and bike) back to Puerto Soller. The boat runs in spring through to autumn, but please check the boat times with the operating companies, Barcos Azules and Tramontana Cruceros (in Puerto Soller), before setting out.
Warning: if doing this tour during the summer months we recommend you leave early to beat the masses of tour buses that ply this route every day.
