The most beautiful mountain biking trails on Mallorca
Action-packed trails in the island’s north
The Serra de Tramuntana stretches across the north-western part of the island. In the past, the tracks through the mountains were used by pilgrims. Today, the pilgrim paths have turned into mountain bike trails. However, if you decide to bike here you should be a confident mountain biker as the tracks are often blocked by boulders. Steep ascents lead through impassable terrain and require a good condition. If you want you can visit the Barranc de Biniaraix, which is considered to be one of the island’s most beautiful canyons.
In the east you can explore the hilly Serra de Llevant. One of the island’s most popular scenic roads runs in-between the jagged coast and the Serra. The hilly region and its bizarre rocks, barren hills and humid areas is ideal for adventurous mountain bike trips. Don’t forget your swimming equipment, because it is almost impossible to resist the beautiful sunny beaches.
A special characteristic of Mallorca’s trails is that some that a few of them ask for tolls as they lead through private terrain. If you don’t want to pay the toll or want to avoid biking through the maze of fences and barriers, you should take an experienced guide with you.
