The Mountains

Among all fantastic places the northern coast is like nowhere else in Mallorca. Over the centuries poets and painters mystics and musicians, philosophers and free spirits have all come here lured by the majesty and the mystery of its sea and its mountains. Along the enchanted coast from Valdemossa to Deia to the golden valley of Soller to the monestary of Lluc and the great gorge of Torrente de Pareis, the mountain range of the Sierra de Tramuntana curves up the Costa Nord like a great dragon sleeping

Outdoor Mallorca aims to introduce you to the island of Mallorca through a series of hikes or walks, which have been designed for both experienced and inexperienced hikers. The hikes are based mainly in the Sierra Tramuntana, in a nature that is still not yet spoiled by human interference.

Sierra Tramuntana stretches more or less all the way from Andraitx in the south-east to Formentor in the north-west and reaches heights over 1,000 metres in many places, culminating in the Puig Mayor at 1,445 metres. Many of the mountain tops are almost bare of vegetation and its rough, rocky peaks seem to stretch from the deep sea to the high skies above. Between these rugged peaks lay lush green, sparsely settled farmland and alpine lakes with an aqua green surface, which gives a stark contrast to the Tramuntana mountains shifting colours from tightly grey-black to warm golden-yellow.


The many hundred of the footpaths that criss-cross the Tramuntana were built as trade routes by the merchants who needed access from the small mountain villages to the bigger market places in the cities on the plains. They were also used by farmers who needed access to their terraces of olive trees, and by the pilgrims who wanted to reach the remote holy places and the many mon- asteries in the distance mountain valleys.

The result is a wealth of opportunities for hikers seeking to explore the heights and enjoy stunning views of rocky peaks and deep blue seas. There is a varied flora including dense evergreen forests, marquis and garique in the arid zone, sub alpine flora on the approach to the peaks, and an enormous number of beautiful flowering shrubs, which give an extra dimension to many hikes.


The Med

The world of Outdoor Mallorca also holds the Mediterranean Sea that surrounds the island of Mallorca. Through a number of sea and coastal activities we will take you to some unforgettable spots, it may be caves under the surface of the Mediterranean or remote paradise sandy beaches.

The Mediterranean that surrounds Mallorca has in all times not only been an important part of its history and culture, it has also since beginning of time, been a source of inspiration for poets, thinkers, artists, high spirits and the common man alike. Along the northern coastline from Sant Elm in southwest, to Formentor in the northeast, the Sierra Tramuntana descends sharply into the sea. With alcoves blasted into the mountains you will find hundreds of caves, small creeks and deep ravines that just wait for to be explored.

The southern coast of Mallorca is the opposite of the north. Here one will find miles of long shelving bays with beaches of the finest and whitest sand. This is the area where one finds the sheltered small bays that one can only reach by boat or by a more extensive walk on land. For Outdoor Mallorca the Mediterranean and its Mallorcan coastline offers an additional dimension for further experiences and activities on the island.
