Mallorca Tramuntana

May 14-23, 2027

hiking & the MEDITERRANEAN!

Progress bar chart with five ascending bars labeled with a difficulty level of 3 out of 5.

This adventure is rated 3 out of 5 difficulty level. Moderate level activities. Day hikes range from 5+ to 10 miles each day with elevation gain and loss of up to 2,500+/- each day.

This trip is suitable for hill walkers, the daily hikes take place on marked trails, but these are often very rocky. The elevation gains and losses, as well as the distances, are moderate, but the terrain means that progress may be slower due to the challenges. The hikes can be adapted to the level of the group and for most stops, the group will stay 2 days at each accommodation instead of hiking from hut to hut as done on a regular trek. At this time, it is important to take in account that weather can be quite variable as Mallorca is an island and in spring or autumn you may experience all 3 seasons in one day!
