A typical Majorca landscape: a small winding road in perfect condition, and no cars.	One special challenge is the Calobra-Pass, which rises from sea level to ca. 2,600 feet in about 6 miles. If you want to do it, try it as early in the morning as possible. Later in the day you may encounter some bus traffic.
A short break in one of the many picturesque villages/towns. Typical Majorca weather: blue skies.	On the top of the mountain, after a steady 5-mile climb, you will be rewarded with a beautiful view overlooking the island.
This picture was taken at the beginning of a long, 15-mile climb; the riders are still together; but on the way to the top of the mountain you are on your own.
The following charts will give you an idea about the profile of some of the most popular routes starting at the hotel. All of the routes follow secondary country roads with little traffic. Of course, you always have the option to add some miles, or make the ride shorter. Don't be alarmed by these charts - they are just a graphical representation of elevation - the climbs are not as steep as they appear; average grade is ca. 6-8%.
This is a typical week opener. The first 30 miles are fairly flat/slightly rolling; than you have a ca. 3-mile climb to the top of a mountain. You will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the valley below. The good part is: the climb is out, and back. If you are not up to climbing, you can just wait at the bottom.	This route provides you for ca. 35 miles with a nice view of the mountain range you are about to climb - and descend. You have no choice: it is a steady 5-mile climb up a small winding road with many switchbacks. But you will like the fast descend: almost 12 miles down to the port city of Pollenca. Then, the route follows the coast for a while = flat home stretch.
This route will take you to the southeastern part of the island. A similar route as the first one, with the option to go up the mountain or not: it is again up and down the same road.	You have ca. 13 miles to prepare yourself mentally for a day of climbing. But I tell you, your suffering will be worth it: you will be surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. You climb to the highest road point of the island to enjoy a fast, but twisty descend. Then, it will go up again: a lot of switch backs (little Alpe d’Huez) for ca. 6 miles. By the time you get back home, you will have forgotten the suffering, because the last 40 miles are either down hill or flat.
This is one of the most beautiful routes on Majorca. You ride up to a mountain valley, followed by a superb descend on a perfect road. This route will be one of the highlights of your stay.
