“HIKING THE SERRA TRAMUNTANA & PENNINSULA FORMENTOR IN MALLORCA ISLAND”
This tour is ideal for hillwalkers with a good level of fitness & recent experience walking at grade A or B.
In the Serra de Tramuntana, nature has created beauty spots that are unique in the world and essential for understanding Mallorca. Landscapes that have become an island emblem, like the peninsula of Sa Foradada, the beach of Sa Calobra, the Torrent de Pareis canyon, the dramatic cliffs of Formentor, the singular upwelling of water at Ses Fonts Ufanes in Campanet.
This program of walks aims to explore the whole of Serra de Tramuntana. It will include an exceptional walk—El Camino del Faro (lighthouse) de Formentor—which is not specifically in the Serra but is a route of sheer beauty.
The Serra is situated along the North coast of Mallorca. It is a mountainous region, steep, precipitous with the highest peaks of the island. A region steeped in culture, its landscape
honed & developed by man over many centuries. It was declared a protected region in 2011.
The total distance we cover over the full week will be about 87km, with a cumulative height gain of 4,895m. Although some of the walks we do intertwine with the GR 221 walk, we have designed our walks to be exclusive to our program.
While the walk program indicated suggests all the walks are Level A, the nature & design of the traverse of Serra Tramontana allow us to also offer shorter & and less difficult routes that are suitable for Level.
Depending on your brief, we can facilitate “A” walkers with more challenging options, “B” walkers with shorter walks with more peaks & “C” walkers with comfortable walks featuring areas of historic or cultural interest. The choice is yours, just let us know in advance.
