Tour Overview

Behind Mallorca’s (also known as Majorca) facade lies a tranquil and timeless landscape. Rising abruptly out of the island’s interior are the craggy outcrops of the Tramuntana Mountains (UNESCO site since 2011), over which birds of prey can often be seen soaring on the breeze. Following a network of established trails, we trek to some of the highest peaks and enjoy spectacular vistas to the Mediterranean. Elsewhere, we discover picturesque hamlets complete with mediaeval churches and pass terraced hillsides adorned with sun-kissed citrus trees. In contrast, our coastal walks will reveal sleepy fishing marinas, secret coves and pebble bays.



Highlights

  • Unearth a traditional and tranquil side of Mallorca 

  • Walk through ancient forests and spot birds of prey including falcons, osprey and vultures

  • Enjoy coastal panoramas and walks up into the dramatic Tramuntana Mountains

  • Stay in characterful accommodation including a converted monastery

Itinerary

Day 1


Fly to Palma and transfer to Puerto Soller, arriving in time for a welcome
dinner.



Day 2


We walk along the coast to the beautiful little bay of Cala Deiá, where
(time permitting) we can paddle in the turquoise waters of the bay. From
here, we head inland towards one of the most beautiful villages in Mallorca,
Deiá, owing to its idyllic setting in the hills. This walk explores the
delightful area between the mountains and the sea, using old tracks and paths
over the cliffs, and offers fantastic coastal views along the Mediterranean
pinewoods and coastal shrubs. We stop for a picnic lunch along the way.

Walk Profile: Distance- 12km/ 8 miles, ascent 400m, descent 250m, 5 hours
duration.



Day 3


We take the tram to Sóller and walk towards the village of Biniaraitx. From
here we follow a wonderful cobbled track known as the Pilgrim Steps, which
originally went all the way from Sóller to Lluc to connect the monastery
with the port. We then diverge onto a small path up to the Mirador den
Quesada, the high point of our day at 957m. This Mirador, or look out point,
is at the summit of some particularly rocky outcrops known as the
'Cornadors', of which we will have had some stunning views on our ascent. We
descend past a mountain hut and through fields and forests of holm oak until
eventually our track brings us back to the centre of Sóller, where we
usually stop for a drink or a wander around the town before taking the tram
back to Puerto Sóller.

Walk Profile: Distance- 16km/ 10 miles, ascent 915m, descent 915m, 6 hours
duration.



Day 4


Today's walk starts from the beautiful village of Valldemossa and ends in
'S'Atalaia Vella' (854m), meaning 'viewpoint' in Mallorquin. From here we
take in stunning panoramic views of the coast and the Tramuntana Mountains.
For part of the walk, we follow the Archduke’s bridleway, an incredibly
scenic path built at the end of the 19th Century by the Austrian Archduke
Ludwig Salvator. In the afternoon we have some free time to relax in Puerto
Sóller.

Walk Profile: Distance- 7km/ 4 miles, ascent 400m, descent 400m, 3 1/2 hours
duration.



Day 5


After a short drive from the hotel, we start our walk from 'Es mirador de ses
Barques.' From here we follow an old mule track away from the coast to Coll
de Moncaire and head inland through a hidden and unspoilt little valley to
Balitx farm. Next, we climb up to Coll de Biniamar to join the coastal path
of Sa Costera, offering spectacular scenery throughout, until we reach the
little bay of Cala Tuent where the bus will meet us for the transfer (approx.
1 hour) along the beautiful Sa Calobra road to the Lluc monastery.

Walk Profile: Distance: 14km/ 9 miles, ascent 275m, descent 650m, 5 hours
duration.



Day 6


Today we enjoy a wonderful circular walk forming an arc around the Monastery
of Lluc. The scenery along the route is varied and spectacular, including
ancient oak forests, rock formations up to 60m high and views of Mallorca's
highest peaks.

Walk Profile: Distance- 10km/ 6 miles, ascent 270m, descent 270m, 4 hours
duration.



Day 7


We finish the trip on a high, setting off to climb Puig d'en Galileu, which
at 1,181m is one of the island's highest peaks. The recently restored path to
the top is beautiful and offers outstanding views across the dramatic Lluc
Valley and the peaks of Tomir and Roig.

Walk Profile: Distance - 9km/ 6 miles, ascent 700m, descent 700m, 5 hours
duration.



Day 8

The tour ends after breakfast. Those travelling on the group flights will be
transferred to Palma airport for your flight back to London.

Reviews from travellers on this tour

A great week

Varied walking in mountainous and coastal scenery.

Varied walking in mountainous and coastal scenery. Good to have the opportunity for city viewing in Palma and Soller. Some rocky descents which were quite challenging as required a lot of concentration.

Amazing

What a fantastic walking trip - beautiful scenery,

What a fantastic walking trip - beautiful scenery, well organised and varied walks, and enhanced by a lovely group of fellow-walkers. Eduardo is a first class guide, and manages to accommodate everybody's abilities. This was the Grade 5 level walk, which was quite challenging towards the end of the week, mainly due to the unseasonably hot weather.. But so rewarding. My first trip with Exodus. Can't wait to book the next one!

Walking in Mallorca

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. I had only chosen

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. I had only chosen it as the dates fitted in with subsequent travel in Spain and Morocco. I knew little about Mallorca apart from the trip notes but was keen to do some hiking. We had a really cohesive group which definitely helped with enjoyment each day. Although I had 3 weeks of further travel after this hike, I could have easily returned to Australia after the 8 days totally satisfied. I would highly recommend this trip!

Walking Mallorca

This was an amazing experience. Our leader Eduard

This was an amazing experience. Our leader Eduard was delightful and friendly. Each day when a picnic lunch was included he went out shopping for typical Mallorcan food, with different cheeses, sausages ey each day. He spread everything out on a tablecloth on a flat area and we helped ourselves...no pre-packed soggy tasteless sarnies for us! There were only 7 of us in the group and we all got on really well, and despite some rainy days when Eduard had to change the plan, we had a wonderful week. And the accommodation was fantastic too! Fabulous week.

March proved to be a lovely time to walk in the mountains of Mallorca. Having been on many guided walks this was up there with the best; the group dynamic was supportive and fun, the group leader managed the pacing of the walks to suit the range of walkers, and the variety of the Mallorcan landscape was magical.

Walking in Mallorca 30 April - 6 May

Just what I was expecting from previous reviews an

Just what I was expecting from previous reviews and one previous visit to Mallorca: wonderful scenery, well planned and interesting walks, good locations. Port de Soller is a pleasant and sedate place with lots of good restaurants. Our hotel was the Eden (instead of the usual Eden North) to accommodate all of us, and it was excellent: large rooms, recently refurbished, and an amazing selection for breakfast. The monastery at Lluc is more like a youth hostel without the self catering, with - at this time of year - mostly walkers and cyclists. There are wo restaurants here, a food shop and pharmacy in addition to the refectory, so there is still plenty of choice.

Walking in Mallorca

Lovely relaxing week on an island I hadn't visited

Lovely relaxing week on an island I hadn't visited before. Two centres with the contrast between the lively Puerto Soller with plenty of choice of restaurants and the quieter(and enjoyable) more remote environment of Lluc Monastery. A variety of walks exploring different aspects of the Sierra Tramuntana from dramatic coastal paths and views of turquoise seas and steep cliffs to more sustained mountain paths leading to 360 degree views of the mountain range. Not strenuous walking but pretty much all walks on good rocky paths, some uneven, which are perfect for regular walkers(I do use poles but didn't need them on this occasion) ; for early April we were lucky apparently as we had no rain - if it had been wet, the walks could have been much trickier. All of this superbly orchestrated and managed by our experienced local guide Eduard who was a star in every respect from planning the logistics of the walks, leading professionally, making sure everyone was safe, preparing lunches, driving, and particularly gelling with the group and communicating his passion for everything Mallorquin having grown up on the island.
