Sa Calobra in the Serra de Tramuntana Mountains

The Serra de Tramuntana was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011, under the Cultural Landscape category, in acknowledgement of the stunning symbiosis between human action and nature, carried out over the centuries, and which has resulted in a monumental work of stone terracing and water ways, merging culture, traditions, aesthetics, spirituality and identity.

Aside from its immesurable beauty and cultural value, the Serra de Tramuntana is also one of the longest and most challenging cycling routes on the island, an area that covers 1000 km2 with a 130 km mountain road. There are multiple cycle routes within the mountains with high peaks, steep gradients and dizzying descents, but if you want to attempt the entire route, you will need the help of a cycling transfer either to get you there or to bring you back.

The highest peaks in the Serra de Tramuntana are Puig Major (1,443 m), Puig de Massanella (1,348 m), Serra d’Alfàbia (1,069 m), Es Teix (1,064) and Galatzó (1,026 m).

For a little sea fearing and a fun break between rides you can watch the sailing regattas, take a water sports class or hire a boat charter through the Yacht Club in the old marina of Port de Pollensa.
