Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Sóller à Escorca

If you’re up for a seriously scenic (and challenging!) ride, this route from Sóller to Escorca in northern Mallorca is for you. Starting in Sóller—famous for its tram, surrounding citrus groves, and dramatic mountain views—you’ll quickly find yourself zig-zagging into the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana.

The ride packs in over 1,900 meters of climbing, topping out around 935 meters in elevation, so get ready for those switchbacks and sweeping vistas. About two-thirds of the surfaces are either asphalt or paved, but you’ll definitely hit stretches of gravel and unpaved track—perfect for the adventure-minded cyclist (maybe bring a gravel bike!).

The route snakes along quiet roads, wide tracks, and scenic paths. And the payoff? Rolling into Escorca, a hamlet best known for its peaceful vibes and proximity to the iconic pilgrimage site, the monastery of Lluc. Bring snacks, plenty of water, and your camera—this ride’s a stunner, but it’ll make you work for those views!
