They say Mallorca is always a good idea—and they’re right! We dare you to join us and explore not just the stunning coastline, secluded coves, and crystal-clear waters Mallorca is famous for, but also the breathtaking beauty of the Serra de Tramuntana—the island’s central mountain range. Grab your backpack, lace up your boots, and get ready to tackle 54 peaks above 1,000 meters! My mission? To give adventurers like you unforgettable experiences in Mallorca’s mountains and along its breathtaking coastlines. Let’s make some memories together!
As you conquer the peaks of Mallorca, surrender to its wilderness and beauty! On our 10-day hiking tour, we’ll summit 54 peaks over 1,000 meters (3,280 ft). All 54 are moderate hikes, really, with two exceptions. Puig Major, the highest peak in Serra de Tramuntana, is a restricted military zone, and Agulla des Frare requires climbing gear like harnesses and ropes. The hikes demand solid navigation skills, along with good fitness and agility to tackle Mallorca’s highest peaks. But with our experienced guide, this hiking challenge will surely be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made!
We will greet you at the airport. During the scenic drive, which takes less than an hour, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the stunning landscapes as we head north.
Our destination is Pollença, a charming town in the north of the island. It’s the perfect spot to relax and prepare for the hiking challenge ahead. With its rich history, picturesque streets, and warm hospitality, Pollença will be our home for the next three days.
Meals: Breakfast and lunch
Accommodation: 4-star boutique lodge
After a good rest, it’s time to get moving! Just outside Pollença is Ca’n Huguet (a country house), which will be our starting point. Today, we’ll hike through Fartafix, where we’ll experience its unique flora and fauna. Additionally, Fartafix is slightly cooler than the rest of Mallorca, though the climate remains mild, thanks to its proximity to the sea.
Our goal is to reach the summit of Puig Tomir (1,103 m / 3,619 ft). While it’s not extremely high, hiking in this area can be challenging, with tricky terrain and scree slopes requiring caution. After successfully summiting, we’ll wrap up our first day of hiking at the Menut II Recreational Area, where a transfer will take us back to the hotel.

Today, we’ll be summiting Puig Roig. While it has the lowest elevation of the 54 peaks in the Tramuntanas, its proximity to the sea means it offers some of the best coastal views. Despite its lower elevation, the rugged nature, wilderness, and challenging terrain will certainly get the adrenaline pumping.
Today’s elevation gain is 618 m / 2,027 ft, and we’ll cover a distance of more than 17 km / 10.5 mi. However, keep in mind that the route is quite steep, so it might feel like we’re covering even more distance. We’ll finish our day in Pollença.

For now, our plan is to conquer the following peaks: Puig de N’Alí, Es Frontó de Comafreda, Puig de Massanella, Puig de Massanella South, Puig de ses Bassetes, Puig Criança d’Altt, Puig d’en Galileu.
Today’s hike will be the most challenging so far, with a very steep route and rocky terrain. However, the breathtaking views from all seven peaks will make it worth the effort.

After all these peaks we’ve tackled so far, we might think of ourselves as highlanders. But there ‘s more to be discovered. Our objective is to reach the three ‘Thousands’ (locally known as Los Tres Miles): Sa Rateta North, Na Franquesa, and L’Ofre.
We’ll be adding Sa Rateta East and Sa Rateta South to our itinerary today. The beauty of this landscape (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), with its stone walls and centuries-old olive trees, will accompany us throughout the day. Still, it’s important to remember that while we’ll be hiking through breathtaking scenery, the terrain can be rough and challenging. These three stunning rocky peaks are perfect for hikers looking for a tough, yet rewarding path.
