Day 2: Port d’Andratx – Sant Elm – Sa Gramola – Estellencs

We start with a gentle walk along the waterfront, gradually ascending through hillside villas. The real hike begins in the Tramuntana forests, on classic rocky mountain trails with aromatic shrubs and breathtaking emerald sea views.

Stop at Sant Elm, once the landing point for the Catalan expedition that conquered Mallorca in 1229. Then we climb to the former La Trapa Monastery, perched above the uninhabited island of Sa Dragonera, a protected natural park famously occupied by environmentalists in 1977 to prevent a development project.

The coastal trail offers stunning panoramas over the island’s northern cliffs, culminating at the Sa Gramola mountain pass, the day’s endpoint.

Elevation gain: +950 m / -650 m (+3,117 ft / -2,133 ft) – Hiking time: 5–6 hrs – Distance: 18 km

Day 3: Estellencs – Esporles – Valldemossa

Today we walk along an ancient royal road, paved and lined with grand manor houses such as Son Serralta and Es Rafal.

The terraced village of Banyalbufar, with its historic homes and sea views, is a highlight. Its dry-stone terraces and dramatic coastline make it a memorable stop.

We continue along the last section of the Camí des Correu (1401), shaded by evergreen oaks, arriving in Esporles. Short transfer to Valldemossa, a stunning village famous for Chopin and George Sand, who spent the winter of 1838-1839 here.

Day 4: Valldemossa – Deià – Llucalcari – Port de Sóller

The day’s ascent leads to Caragolí (944 m), a rocky outcrop with panoramic views over Palma Bay and nearly the entire Tramuntana range. The trail was built by Archduke Louis Salvator of Austria in the 19th century.

A technical descent brings us to Deià, a village that has long inspired artists, writers, and musicians like Robert Graves. With its golden-stone houses clinging to the hillside, Deià is both charming and elegant.

We continue down to the romantic pebble bay Cala de Deià, then follow the coastal trail past Llucalcari to the Gros Lighthouse and Port de Sóller. (Optional: transfer by bus from Llucalcari.)

Elevation gain: +800 m / -950 m (+2,625 ft / -3,117 ft) – Hiking time: 5–6 hrs – Distance: 16 km

Return by boat to Port de Sóller, offering a unique perspective along the spectacular coastline we’ve explored.

Elevation gain: +800 m / -600 m (+2,625 ft / -1,969 ft ) – Hiking time: 5 hrs – Distance: 13 km

Day 6: Sóller – Barranc de Biniaraix – Tossals Verds Refuge

We take the historic tramway (bought from Lisbon) from Port de Sóller to Sóller village.

We hike the Barranc de Biniaraix, an impressive stone path of 2,000 steps that has served local communities for centuries.

The Ofre Pass offers views of Cúber Reservoir and Puig Major (1436 m), the highest peak on the island (restricted military area).

The trail becomes more technical at Pas Llis, a narrow canyon section with a fixed rope. We spend the night at the traditional stone Tossals Verds Refuge, an isolated and magical mountain hideaway.

Day 7: Tossals Verds – Lluc – Port de Pollença

We explore the heart of the Tramuntana mountains, dominated by Puig de Massanella (1385 m), the island’s second-highest peak.

The route winds around the Tossals Verds massif, then climbs the shaded Prat Valley, dotted with springs and historic snow pits (Cases de Neu), used since 1564 to store ice during winter

From the Prat Pass (1205 m), the most motivated hikers can climb Puig de Massanella via a rocky trail, with spectacular views over Pollença and Alcúdia bays.
