Towering above the coast at 4,740 feet (1,445 meters), Serra de Tramontana’s principal peak, Puig Major, is the tallest in the Balearic Islands. Surrounding it is an impressive range of limestone mountains that seem a world away from Mallorca’s sun-soaked beaches. The area is a haven for island visitors craving an outdoor adventure—from hiking and horseback riding to more extreme sports like mountain biking, rock climbing, and even cliff-jumping. Historic villages such as Deia, Soller, Banyabulfar, and Valdemosa make excellent pit stops to recharge with a Mallorcan meal and soak up local mountain culture.
