More about the route
We recommend a good basic fitness for walking days of up to 5 hours. You will walk on good walking paths but on some of the stony sections good walking shoes and surefootedness will be required. This is a hiking tour with numerous panoramic views of the tops of the Tramuntana mountains, of the seashore, of the sea and the green valleys.
Itinerary
Here you can see the programme for the week.
Situated on the foothills of the “Serra de Tramuntana” you are expected by the typical Mallorquin town Pollença. You walk through the narrow streets of the old town, have a „Café con Leche“ on the “Plaza Major” or you walk up the Calvary covered in cypresses and enjoy the panoramic view.
Hotel (example): Finca Son Sant Jordi
One of the hiking classics of Mallorca, the peninsula La Victòria, is situated between the bay of Pollença and Alcúdia. The route leads along the coastline and up to a wonderful top of a cliff. A switchback with lots of endless panoramic views, and the possibility to go swimming in the turquoise bay „Boll Baix“, leads you over smooth tops back to Alcúdia.
Hotel (example): Finca Son Sant Jordi

On your way through the impressive „Serra de Tramuntana“ you can enjoy the view over sunny cliff coasts and fertile valleys. You go past the manor „Coma Sema“, once one of the biggest olive farmers of the island, until you reach the magic Orient-valley.

On this journey there is a discount for children and people sharing a room with "two fully paying adults". The amount of discount depends on age; thus:
Children under 5.99 years: free
Children between 6 and 11.99 years: 50% discount
Children between 12 - 14.99 years: 25% discount
People from 15 years and up: 10% discount
Example 1
You are 2 adults and 1 child. Here it's very simple because you're staying in the same room. The child gets a discount compared to the prices above.
Example 2
You are 2 adults and 2 children (aged 5 and 13). Here you have two options. If you want to stay in two double rooms, it will be full price for all participants. If you want to stay in the same room (e.g. a family room), then both children will get a discount (free and 25% discount respectively).
Example 3
You are 2 adults and 3 children (age: 7, 13 and 15). In this case, you will probably need two double rooms where the youngest child sleeps with the parents. Therefore, there will only be a discount for the youngest child aged 7, who will receive a 50% discount.
Example 4
You are 3 adults who want to sleep in the same double room. The extra adult will receive a 10% discount.
