- Serra de Tramuntana
Tramuntana Queen Stage
105 km · 2400 m
The big one: over the Coll de Sóller, along the spine of the Tramuntana past Puig Major, then the plunge into Sa Calobra and the brutal climb back out. A true queen stage — pick a clear, calm day.
Start in Sóller → - Serra de Tramuntana
Pollença → Lluc & sa Batalla
90 km · 1850 m
Spin out of Pollença and climb to the Lluc monastery via the Coll de Femenia, returning over the Coll de sa Batalla — steady gradients, pine forest and a café at the top.
Start in Pollença → - Cap de Formentor
Cap de Formentor Lighthouse
55 km · 900 m
The island's most photogenic ride: rolling cliffs out to the Formentor lighthouse. Short but exposed — go early to beat the buses and the afternoon wind.
Start in Pollença → - Es Pla
Randa & the Plains
65 km · 650 m
A gentle introduction to riding Mallorca: quiet lanes across Es Pla to the standalone Puig de Randa — one steady climb with three monasteries and big island views. Ideal for first days and recovery rides.
Start in Llucmajor → - Llevant
Sant Salvador & the South-East
75 km · 950 m
Quiet Llevant back roads to the hilltop monastery of Sant Salvador above Felanitx — a punchy, panoramic climb with a café-stop town waiting at the bottom.
