This majestic range, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011, offers visitors an enchanting blend of breathtaking landscapes, charming villages, and a glimpse into Mallorca’s fascinating past.
Stretching approximately 90 kilometers from Andratx in the southwest to Pollença in the northeast, the Tramuntana Mountains dominate Mallorca’s skyline with their rugged peaks and lush greenery. The range’s diverse ecosystem, comprising pine forests, olive groves, and citrus orchards, creates a captivating tapestry of colors and scents that change with the seasons.
Exploring the Tramuntana Mountain Range unveils a treasure trove of natural wonders. Hikers and outdoor enthusiasts are treated to a network of well-marked trails that wind through picturesque valleys, along dramatic cliffs. One of the most iconic hikes is the route to Sa Calobra, where adventurers traverse narrow paths and tunnels to reach the breathtaking Torrent de Pareis, a stunning canyon carved by millennia of water erosion.

Throughout the centuries, these mountains have been inhabited by various civilizations, leaving behind a legacy of ancient settlements, watchtowers, and terraced landscapes. Visitors can explore historic village like Valldemossa, with its charming cobblestone streets and the renowned monastery where Frederic Chopin and George Sand once resided, or Sóller, known for its elegant architecture and citrus-scented orchards.
