Palma and the train to Sóller
Palma airport to the old town, then the wooden train over the mountains to Sóller
- Welcome dinner
- Nuit : Sóller
- Environ 15 min de route
Land at Palma airport (PMI) by about 12:30 pm and our driver brings you into the city, about 15 minutes away, where your See Sight Tours guide meets the group. The van takes the luggage straight to Sóller.
Après-midi
There is an hour for lunch on your own in the cafés around the Plaça d'Espanya, then we walk through Palma's old town, past the sea wall under La Seu, the cathedral we come back to on the last day, and back to the station. The Ferrocarril de Sóller leaves in the mid-afternoon, around 15:00 depending on the season's timetable. Opened in 1912 and still run with its wooden carriages, it climbs through orchards and thirteen tunnels over the Serra de Tramuntana and drops into the Sóller valley in about an hour. Sóller, a stone town of orange groves ringed by mountains, is our base for three nights.
Soir
After a short briefing on the walks, the evening ends with a welcome dinner near the main square.
Compris
- Pick-up at Palma airport (PMI)
- Guided walk through Palma's old town to the station
- The Ferrocarril de Sóller from Palma to Sóller

Option plus facile : Ride with the van and the luggage from Palma to Sóller instead of the old-town walk and train.
Temps libre : An hour for lunch in Palma before the train; a little time in Sóller before dinner
Activité : About 1 hour on foot in Palma on flat paving; about 1 hour on the train, leaving around 15:00.
Down the Barranc de Biniaraix
Sóller to the Cúber reservoir, on foot over the Coll de l'Ofre and down the Barranc de Biniaraix to Sóller
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Sóller
- Environ 30 min de route
A half-hour drive up the mountain road towards Lluc takes us to the Cúber reservoir at about 750 m, high in the Serra de Tramuntana under the island's highest peak, Puig Major. From here the whole walk is a way home. We cross open upland past the reservoir to the Coll de l'Ofre, at about 875 m, where the Sóller valley and the sea suddenly appear below. Then the descent begins: the Barranc de Biniaraix, a narrow ravine where an old pilgrim and mule path drops in thousands of hand-laid stone steps past dry-stone walls, olive terraces and stone huts, part of the GR221 Dry Stone Route. Poles help on the steps.
Après-midi
We come out in the hamlet of Biniaraix and sit down to lunch there, then walk the last twenty minutes through orange groves to Sóller.
Soir
Dinner together tonight.
Compris
- Drive from Sóller to the Cúber reservoir
- Guided walk over the Coll de l'Ofre and down the Barranc de Biniaraix
- Lunch in Biniaraix
- Dinner in Sóller
Option plus facile : Skip the high start: walk from Sóller up to Biniaraix and partway into the ravine with the guide's directions, about 2 hours, then meet the group for lunch.
Option plus active : From the Coll de l'Ofre, climb the Puig de l'Ofre (about 1,090 m), the cone-shaped peak above the col, and back, about 1.5 hours and 200 m more, weather allowing, before the descent.
Temps libre : Late afternoon free in Sóller
Activité : About 12 km, about 100 m up and about 850 m down on stone steps, 4.5 to 5 hours with stops (figures confirmed on our recce).
The coast path to Deià
Sóller on foot along the Camí de Castelló to Deià, then back to Sóller
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Sóller
- Environ 18 min de route
Today starts at the hotel door. We walk out of Sóller on the Camí de Castelló, an old path between the two towns that is now part of the GR221, climbing gently through olive terraces and past old stone farmhouses, with the sea opening up on the right. The path stays well above the cliffs, in and out of pine and holm oak, with views down the coast towards Deià's hill. About halfway the hamlet of Lluc Alcari sits below on a point. We reach Deià around lunchtime: a village of honey-coloured stone houses climbing to a church, where the poet Robert Graves lived and is buried.
Après-midi
Lunch is a sit-down meal in the village.
Soir
The van brings us back to Sóller by mid-afternoon, and the rest of the day and the evening are yours: the market square, the orange-juice bars or the port.
Compris
- Guided walk from Sóller to Deià on the Camí de Castelló
- Lunch in Deià
- Return to Sóller by van
Activités en option
- Ca n'Alluny, the house of Robert Graves in Deià (about 30 minutes; entry paid locally, and the house's opening days vary by season, so we check them for your dates)
Option plus facile : Ride with the van to Deià, explore the village and meet the group for lunch.
Option plus active : After lunch, walk down to the Cala de Deià, a rocky cove about 40 minutes below the village, and the van collects you there.
Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free in Sóller
Activité : About 10 km and about 300 m of climb on stony paths, 3.5 to 4 hours.
Over the Tramuntana to Lluc and Pollença
Sóller over the Ma-10 to the sanctuary of Lluc, then down to Pollença
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Pollença
- Environ 1.5 h de route
With the bags in the van, we drive the mountain road north-east from Sóller, about an hour of bends past the Cúber and Gorg Blau reservoirs under Puig Major, the highest peak on the island. The road comes down into a wooded basin and the sanctuary of Lluc, Mallorca's main place of pilgrimage for centuries, home of a small dark Madonna and of a boys' choir. We visit the basilica, then walk a loop of about 3 hours through the holm oak woods and limestone outcrops around it, including the stepped path of the Camí dels Misteris to the hill above the monastery.
Après-midi
Lunch is a sit-down meal at Lluc. A half-hour drive takes us down to Pollença, a stone town in the north of the island and our base for three nights.
Soir
Before dinner together we climb the 365 Calvari steps, lined with cypresses, to the chapel at the top for the evening view.

Activité : About 7 to 8 km and 250 m of climb at Lluc, about 3 hours, plus the 365 Calvari steps.
The Boquer valley
Pollença to Port de Pollença, on foot through the Boquer valley to Cala Boquer and back
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Pollença
- Environ 24 min de route
A short drive takes us down to Port de Pollença on its wide bay. We walk from the edge of town past an old farmhouse into the Boquer valley, a dry, quiet valley between two limestone ridges that runs out to the open sea. The path is easy and well trodden, through wild olive, dwarf palm and pine, and this is one of the best places on the island for birds: in spring migrants rest here, and blue rock thrushes and Balearic warblers live in the scrub. At the end of the valley is Cala Boquer, a small pebble cove with clear water and no road, where those who brought swimwear can go in.
Après-midi
We walk back the same way and sit down to lunch in Port de Pollença. The afternoon is free: Pollença's Plaça Major, its church and cafés, or the beach at the port.
Compris
- Guided walk through the Boquer valley to Cala Boquer and back
- Lunch in Port de Pollença
Option plus facile : Walk to the viewpoint halfway along the valley and back, about 1.5 hours, or stay in Port de Pollença by the sea.
Option plus active : From the cove, climb the ridge path towards the Cavall Bernat cliffs for the view over the north coast, about an hour more.
Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free in Pollença
Activité : About 7 km return and 150 m of climb on an easy stony track, about 3 hours with the cove stop.
Cap de Formentor
Pollença to the Formentor lighthouse and the Mirador de Es Colomer, on foot to the Talaia d'Albercutx, then Formentor beach and back
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Pollença
- Environ 1.5 h de route
Matin
We leave Pollença right after an early breakfast and drive the Formentor road out along the island's northernmost peninsula, a narrow ridge of cliffs and pine above the sea. We go straight to the lighthouse at the tip of the cape for the view along the cliffs, then come back to the Mirador de Es Colomer, where the cliffs drop to a rock islet, both before 10:00. From mid-May to mid-October private cars are kept off the lighthouse road from 10:00 to 22:00, so on those dates the early start matters; if ops has not confirmed a permit for our van, we use the public shuttle bus from Port de Pollença or skip the lighthouse.
Après-midi
From the mirador we walk up an old military track to the Talaia d'Albercutx, a watchtower at about 380 m over the bays of Pollença and Alcúdia, then lunch at Formentor beach on the sheltered side.
Soir
Farewell dinner in Pollença tonight.
Compris
- The Formentor lighthouse viewpoint before 10:00, by our own van where permitted
- The Mirador de Es Colomer
- Guided walk to the Talaia d'Albercutx watchtower

Option plus facile : Stay at the Mirador de Es Colomer, then ride with the van to the lighthouse and meet the walkers there.
Option plus active : Walk on from Formentor beach on the coast path to Cala Murta, about 1.5 hours, and the van collects you there.
Temps libre : Late afternoon free before the farewell dinner
Activité : About 8 km and 300 m of climb on a rough track, 3 to 3.5 hours, plus short walks at the viewpoints.
La Seu and home
Pollença to Palma, La Seu cathedral and lunch, then Palma airport
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Environ 1 h de route
Matin
We leave Pollença after breakfast and drive about 50 minutes across the flat middle of the island to Palma. We are at La Seu, the Gothic cathedral on the old sea wall, for its 10:00 opening, and walk through its high nave, where light comes through the great rose window and Antoni Gaudí's canopy hangs over the altar, which he redesigned in the early 20th century.
Après-midi
After the visit, a last walk through the lanes of the old town behind the cathedral, the Arab baths quarter and the Plaça Major, and a farewell lunch together. Our driver then takes you to Palma airport (PMI), about 15 minutes away, arriving around 2:30 pm. Book a flight leaving after about 4:30 pm. On Sundays the cathedral is closed to visits, so we walk the old town and the sea wall instead.
Compris
- La Seu, Palma's cathedral, at opening
- Walk through Palma's old town
- Farewell lunch in Palma
- Drop-off at Palma airport (PMI)
Option plus facile : Sit out the old-town walk at a café on the Passeig des Born.

Faune et météo : February is almond blossom and the orange harvest in the Sóller valley, with cool mornings and occasional rain. March to May brings wildflowers and warm walking days. October and November stay mild, but November is wetter and some walks may be swapped on the day. Look for black vultures and booted eagles over the Tramuntana, and Eleonora's falcons round Formentor in spring.

Questions
What does the price include?
Six nights in central hotels in Sóller and Pollença, breakfast daily, six lunches and four dinners, airport transfers in Palma, the Sóller wooden train, La Seu cathedral entry, the Lluc visit, our own vehicle and driver moving your luggage, your See Sight Tours guide throughout and every guided walk in the day plan.
How fit do I need to be to walk the Serra de Tramuntana?
Moderately fit and steady on stone steps. Five days have 3 to 5 hours on foot, about 7 to 12 km with up to about 300 m of climb, and one long descent of about 850 m down the Barranc de Biniaraix. If you walk a few hours most weekends you will be fine. Every walking day has a shorter option.
How big is the group and who leads it?
The small group runs with 7 to 12 guests. A See Sight Tours guide walks every path with you for the whole trip, and our own driver handles the van and moves the luggage, so nobody carries more than a daypack.
I am travelling solo. What does a single room cost?
A room of your own is from CAD 560 more, shown up front. If you would rather share, ask when you book: we request a twin share with another solo traveller and confirm it with you once the hotel has the room. Single rooms are real rooms, and we tell you the room type when we name the hotel.
When is the best time to walk in Mallorca?
February to May and October to November. February brings almond blossom and the orange harvest around Sóller; spring has wildflowers and warm days; autumn stays mild. Summer is too hot for these paths and busy on the roads. November is wetter, so the guide may swap walks around the weather.
Is the Sóller train included?
Yes. The ticket for the wooden train from Palma to Sóller on the first afternoon is in the price, and we reserve group seats once dates are set. If you would rather not take it, ride over the mountain with our driver and the luggage instead.
How does booking work?
Pick a departure and send a request to book. We confirm your place within 24 hours, and no payment is taken until we have. Prices are per person sharing a room, taxes and the Balearic tourist tax included, and the small group starts from CAD 3,295.
Can I do this trip privately or on my own dates?
Yes, as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle. If you would rather walk independently on your own dates, ask from the dates section and we quote the same hotels, train, transfers and luggage moves as a separate inquiry.
Do Canadians need a visa for Spain?
No visa is needed for short tourist stays in Spain, including Mallorca, for Canadian or US citizens, as Spain is in the Schengen area. The EU plans to require an ETIAS online travel authorisation; check the current rules before you fly. Your passport should be valid for at least three months after you leave.
Why stay in Sóller and Pollença instead of Palma?
Because the walks start there. Sóller sits in the middle of the Serra de Tramuntana, with the Biniaraix ravine and the Deià path on its doorstep, and Pollença is the gateway to Boquer, Lluc and Formentor. Two three-night stays mean less packing and shorter drives. We still see Palma on the first and last days.
Can I swim on this trip?
Often, yes, if the sea is warm enough for you. Cala Boquer on day 5 and Formentor beach on day 6 are both swimmable, and the active option on day 3 ends at the Cala de Deià. In February and March the water is cold; from May and in October most people go in.
