Puig Major climb
The primary route for the Soller region leads to the top of the mountains towards Lluc and Sa Calobra. This 15 km ascent is 5.9% wide, boasting the best tarmac and culminating at Tunnel Monnaber, 880 meters above sea level. Though it's a challenging road, the magnificent vista of Soller's valley serves as an excellent reward. Link to Strava Segment

It's worth the challenge, or simply the chance to capture unforgettable memories. You can even hire a cycling guide who can double as a professional photographer!

Coll de Soller
The mountain road above the Tramuntana region, which connects Palma and Soller, used to be pretty busy before the Tunnel de Soller was launched in 1997. Since then, this old road has become a peaceful and picturesque cycling route. With 51 hairpin turns on both sides of the mountain, it offers a unique cycling experience. From the top, you have a spectacular view of Palma and flat sections in the middle of the island.
But the best part of the Coll de Soller is that you can escape from the mountains and enjoy the flat back roads that wind through fields, vineyards, and valleys of olive trees. It's a great way to get to know the island's rural side and its distinct charm.
Mallorca's Tramuntana region is a road cycling paradise, offering challenging climbs and inspiring views. If you're looking to immerse yourself in Mallorca's vibes, we can help you slow down and discover new feelings through cycling.
At REYNES CYCLING BIKE RENTAL, we offer a range of bikes, from carbon road bikes with Di2 or AXS electronic shifting to electric road and powerful electric city bikes, and get you a professional cycling guide to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable journey.
