Mountain Hiking
View of Long Soller Hotel Cala Fornells

When you think of the most beautiful parts of Majorca, what comes to mind? Dreamy mountain villages, such as Valldemossa, paradisiacal coastlines, juicy oranges from Sòller or the fertile Orient Valley? Not to mention the captivating Serra de Tramuntana in the northwest of the island and the hustle and bustle of the capital Palma.

All of the above can be experienced first hand during the hiking trip to Majorca’s hotspots. Stroll through olive groves to the mountains of Tramuntana. Enjoy the sea air in the bay of Deià – will you dare to jump into the shimmering water? The mountain hike to Cami Costera won’t disappoint with its wonderful views. Continue on one of the beautiful coastal paths to the Torrent de Pareis. At the Pass de L’Ofre you can see the Cuber reservoir and the imposing Puig Major.

  • Capital city of Palma: Mingle with the locals of the stylish island capital and explore charming boutiques, shops and numerous ‘heladerías’ (ice cream parlours).
  • Orient Valley: Orchards and herds of sheep are idyllic! Enjoy the unique atmosphere.
  • Castell d’Alaró: Finca Es Verger invites you to taste delicious Majorcan specialities at this place of pilgrimage.  

On the eight-day hiking tour you will experience the paradise island of Majorca. Since the journey leads both along the coast and through the mountains, you should be accustomed to mountain hiking. Because only then can you enjoy daily tours with a maximum of 16 kilometres to the full. The duration of the hikes is between four and a half and five hours. A special feature of this tour is the walk from Valldemossa to Deià, which offers spectacular views and a deep crashing east coast. For this, sure footedness and a head for heights are needed.

On our ‘Hiking Tours with Charm’ you can enjoy the full service of our individual active holidays while staying in very special accommodation with that extra something in the best location. That means you can look forward to luxury furnishings and decor in the local style, as well as cuisine at the highest level. Many of our hotels with charm also offer large pools and a wellness area where you can relax after a lovely day of hiking.

Itinerary at a glance

Hike in the dreamy Orient Valley past flocks of sheep and orchards before taking the nostalgic "Red Lightning" train to lively Palma. Mallorcan delicacies await in Castell d'Alaró and swimming in Deià Bay.

This idyllic artists’ village, which is embedded in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, invites you to go on an exploratory walk. Stroll along the traces of Frédéric Chopin and George Sand through the lively little alleyways with numerous cafes and galeries. You can take a magnificent rest in the garden of the well-known charter house.

Hotel example: Ca's Papà

 

Looking back at the wonderful Valldemossa silhouette’s, you will take an easy walk through the olive gardens before you go along the old coal paths in the Tramuntana mountains. Soon you can expect some breath-taking views from the sparse mountain landscape over the coast towards Palma. On the spectacular Archduke Johann horse track, you will go along mountain paths with magnificent views over towards the next artists’ village, Deia.

Hotel example: D'es Puig

Before you set off on your walk to Sóller, you can take a detour to Deia bay where the crystal clear, green-shining water invites you to go for a cool down. Well refreshed, you walk through fruitful gardens down to the old mailing route and into the orange valley, which takes you through pleasantly shady holm oak forests with a fantastic view of the west coast up to Sóller.

Hotel example: Es Port

Short transfer to the Mirador de ses Barques with a view of Pt. Soller and its bay.  You will walk unhurriedly through picturesque farmland to a finca where you can refuel with some freshly squeezed orange juice. You will then be rewarded for doing the subsequent ascent to Cami Costera with a beautiful view. One of the island’s loveliest coastal paths takes you along the Cala Tuent shingle beach and then further on towards Sa Calobra where you can hike along the impressive Torrent de Parais. You will then take a boat ride along the coast to Pt. Sóller.

Hotel example: Es Port

Today you will be walking one of the classic walks in Mallorca. Accompanied by the smell of oranges, you will leave Sóller and then you will soon get to the wonderfully cool Biniaraix canyon. You will then walk up to the Pass de L’Ofre by going along the terraced pilgrimage path looking towards Sóller. From there, you can see the Cuber reservoir and the mighty Puig Major. The descent is on an old shepherds’ path to Orient, which is Mallorca’s orchard.

Hotel example: Son Palou

On a leisurely circular walk, you will discover the Orient valley with its orchards and flocks of sheep. You will walk on lovely panoramic paths as well as on stepped paths with wonderful views of the picturesque scenery and of Castell d’Alaró, which is a place of pilgrimage with hermitage. Make sure that you try out the local specialties in the Es Verger finca before you then head back to Orient.

Hotel example: Son Palou

Today you walk through densely packed holm oak forests up to the Penyals d’Honor high plateau where you will keep getting wonderful views back to the green Orient valley. On your way to Bunyola, enjoy the view of Palma’s coastline, which you will soon get to by taking the nostalgia train, “Roter Blitz”. At the end of your tour, you will dive into the lively activity in Palma’s capital city.
