Sa Calobra

The Queen of Mallorca

No climb in Mallorca captures the imagination quite like Sa Calobra. This legendary climb is unique because you have to descend before you can even begin the ascent. With a length of 9.4 kilometers and an average gradient of 7.1%, it is a tough challenge. The climb has 26 hairpin bends and winds spectacularly upward through a rugged mountain landscape. At the top, not only a breathtaking view awaits, but also the satisfaction of having completed one of the most beautiful climbs in Europe.

Puig Major

The longest climb on the island

At 14 kilometers, Puig Major is Mallorca’s longest climb. From Sóller, the road winds its way up to the island’s highest mountain. Along the way, you’ll pass tunnels, pine forests, and impressive rock formations. The climb is not overly steep – the average gradient is around 6.2% – but its length and constant pace make it challenging. An absolute must for anyone who wants to test themselves.

Coll de Soller

A true hairpin bend paradise

Between Sóller and Bunyola lies the picturesque Coll de Sóller. Since the construction of the tunnel, the old pass road is now used almost exclusively by cyclists. The climb has two sides: the south side is 5.1 kilometers long with an average gradient of 5.1%, while the north side is slightly longer and a little more challenging. The dozens of hairpin bends and the peaceful surroundings make this a popular climb, especially for cyclists who enjoy technique and rhythm.

Coll de Femenia

A great view awaits

Close to Pollença, the Coll de Femenia begins, a 7.7-kilometer climb with an average gradient of 5.5%. It is a beautiful, steady climb that takes you deep into the Serra de Tramuntana. With impressive views over the valley and smooth asphalt, this is a perfect climb for those who want to test their legs at the start of a ride. At the top, a beautiful plateau awaits you, leading towards Lluc and beyond.

Puig de Randa

A true classic

In the middle of the island, far away from the imposing mountain ranges in the west, lies the Puig de Randa. This lonely hill rises from the flat landscape and offers a completely different climbing experience than the rest of Mallorca. From the village of Randa, you climb about 5 kilometers to the monastery of Cura, located at the top at an altitude of 543 meters. With an average gradient of 5%, the climb is manageable, although there are certainly some tough sections.

What makes this climb unique is the view: on clear days, you can see almost the entire island, from the bay of Palma to the peaks of the Tramuntana mountains.

Coll de Sa Batalla

Green gateway to the mountains

Gently rolling, steady, and surrounded by fragrant pine trees. This is the climb that no one forgets. From Caimari, this accessible climb winds 7.8 kilometers up to the monastery village of Lluc. The road climbs steadily at an average of 5% with peaks of up to 9%, surrounded by green forests and rock formations. A popular climb for training laps, consistent, not too steep, and beautiful. All you can hear is your breathing and the soft hum of your tires. Mallorca as it was meant to be.

Cap de Formentor

Cycling to the end of the world

This climb of approximately 4.5 kilometers begins just outside Port de Pollença and rises at an average gradient of 6% (max. 10%) towards the iconic Mirador Es Colomer viewpoint. The road winds through spectacular rocky landscapes, with deep precipices on one side and the sparkling sea on the other. Hairpin bends, viewing terraces, and steep passages make this a climb full of thrills and beauty. Those who continue to the lighthouse at the tip of the peninsula will experience an epic ride along cliffs and coastlines that cannot be experienced anywhere else on the island with such intensity.

Coll d’Honor

Short climb, big character

 

Hidden in the woods near the village of Bunyola, the climb to Coll d’Honor begins: short, tough, and wonderfully secluded. From Bunyola, you climb 5 kilometers up to the hamlet of Orient. The climb averages 6.3% steep, with sections up to 10%. This climb has a rustic charm with steep sections between old stone walls. At the top, the silence of Orient awaits, a perfect place for a break with orange juice. Often combined with Coll d’Orient for a nice loop.

Coll de Tofla

Hidden between Felanitx and Sant Salvador

Between Felanitx and the interior lies a relatively unknown wall: only 2.8 kilometers long, but with an average gradient of 8% and peaks of up to 14%. The narrow road winds its way up through farmland and vineyards. A short, powerful climb that is perfect for those who want to open up the throttle on a quiet road.

Sant Salvador

Iconic view to the east

 

This 5-kilometer climb with an average gradient of 6.5% (max. 12%) leads from Felanitx to the monastery of Sant Salvador. The road winds gracefully upward in long curves, while you can always see the white tower and cross above you. At the top, a breathtaking view awaits you: from the mountains to the coast. A must-ride in the east of the island.
