1. Hiking & trail running

Location
Valldemossa

This company offers guided hikes and trail runs for all levels. Discover mountain paths, coastal trails, and hidden spots with expert local guides.

Whether you’re looking for a leisurely walk with panoramic views or a high-energy trail run through rugged terrain, Mallorca offers the perfect outdoor adventure. The island’s diverse landscapes - from the UNESCO-listed Sierra de Tramuntana to wild coastal paths - make it a paradise for nature lovers and fitness enthusiasts alike.

Join expert local guides to discover Mallorca’s hidden corners, with tailor-made routes suited to all levels. Hiking offers a slower pace to soak up the scenery and local culture, while trail running adds an extra element of physical challenge and exhilaration. Both experiences reveal the island’s breathtaking contrasts - steep cliffs, shady forests, rocky ravines, and glittering coves - often all in a single outing.

Ideal for individuals, families, or groups, their tours can include traditional Mallorcan picnics, dips in turquoise waters, and plenty of moments to connect with nature. Spring and autumn are the best seasons, but they also head out in the quieter winter months and early summer mornings.

Whichever pace you choose, you’ll see Mallorca from a unique and unforgettable perspective.

The Archduke's Walkway, Mallorca Island

6. The Archduke's Walkway

Location
Deia

One of the most popular stages of the GR221 and Mallorca’s dry stone route. It is without a doubt one of the most stunning walks on the island. The walkway follows the summit ridge with spectacular views down to the sea.

This is a challenging hike with over 500m of ascent. However, the steep climb out of Valldemossa is well worth it for the views along the north western coast.

Your walk begins in the centre of Valldemossa, and you are soon heading uphill through the woods along stony old mule tracks. The track continues steeply uphill for some time with an occasional breather, and fabulous look-out points with sweeping views of Palma in the distance and the coast beyond Valldemossa. Once on the summit ridge the Archduke’s walkway gives stunning panoramic views of the coast and surrounding Tramuntana mountains. Along the way there are many examples of the old forest dwellers’ settlements and old lime kilns, so this walk is a great opportunity to learn about Mallorca’s rural history.

7. Deia to Soller Coastal Walk

Deia

A linear walk that follows what once was the old road that connected Deia with Soller. It was a vital trade route between the two and is now a restored stone path for most of the walk. It is also part of Mallorcas GR221 or Dry Stone Route.

You will pass through the fine buildings of the Can Prohem finca, and get the opportunity to stop for a freshly squeezed orange juice and a rest while enjoying fantastic views of Sóller.

From here, one of the options is to continue towards Puerto Sóller on a wide track through the Muleta valley, passing through lovely farmland and finally reaching the La Muleta Refuge and Lighthouse. you then follow the windy lane down to the Port.

Alternatively, you can follow the Cami des Rost into Sóller – this is a dirt track that joins a lovely cobbled path and then a stepped donkey trail down into the valley, and eventually the edge of the town of Sóller
