Details about the walking holiday on the Serra de Tramuntana

The Serra de Tramuntana in the northwest of the island of Mallorca is both the path and the destination of the hiking tour. The mountain range has wonderful hiking trails through original vegetation and intact nature.

The highlights of the Majorca walking tour:

• The pilgrimage routes of Mallorca: Between Pollença and Lluc you walk on beautiful pilgrimage routes through oak forests and orchards. The destination of the pilgrimage routes is the historic monastery of Lluc, where you even spend a night.

• With the nostalgic train through orange groves: You conclude the hiking week in Mallorca with a ride on the nostalgic train "Red Lightning" from Pt. Soller to Palma. Included in the hiking holiday!

• Mallorca's idyllic facet: Scenically attractive, wonderfully far and far away from the beaten path - the Serra de Tramuntana shows a completely new face of the Balearic island.

Worth knowing about the hiking tour in northern Majorca

Your hiking holiday in the Serra de Tramuntana begins on the Alcúdia peninsula, more precisely in Port de Alcúdia. Your first hike along the coast with fantastic views of the sea also starts on the peninsula. Over the next few days, you will get to know the lonely, quiet Mallorca a little better every day, until you finally immerse yourself in the hustle and bustle of the island's capital in Playa de Palma. 

The mountain hikes are between 10 and 15 kilometres long and require surefootedness and fitness. The paths are sometimes very rocky.
