About this tour

Explore the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana, a 90-kilometre mountain spine in Mallorca, on this guided hike through quieter trails away from the main tourist routes. Starting from Palma, you'll walk sections of the GR221 Dry Stone Route, encountering ancient farmsteads, wild goats, and dramatic ridgeline views. A local picnic halfway through lets you refuel while taking in the landscape. Your guide adjusts the pace and route to match your fitness level, and depending on season, you might spot almond blossoms or swim in coastal coves.

Highlights

  • UNESCO World Heritage mountain range with 90km of terrain
  • GR221 Dry Stone Route with heritage possessions and stone walls
  • Local fauna: wild goats; flora changes by season
  • Mid-hike picnic with regional food and water included
  • Optional coastal swimming in summer or almond blooms in winter
  • Small-group experience, personalised to your ability

What to expect

You'll meet your guide in Palma and transfer by air-conditioned vehicle into the mountains. The walk covers roughly four to five hours total, split by a sit-down picnic break. The terrain mixes rocky paths and established trails with gradual elevation changes; you're hiking a well-marked heritage route, not scrambling. Expect company from wild goats, especially near open scrubland. Views span across the entire range and towards the coast. Your guide will read the group's fitness and adjust the route or speed as needed—this isn't a race, and turnarounds are built in.

Good to know

Moderate cardiovascular fitness required. Bring sun protection and sturdy footwear; hiking poles are provided. The route suits most seasons, though winter mornings can be chilly and summer midday heat intense. Public transport reaches the trailhead if you prefer to meet your guide there instead of Palma.
