The GR221, also known as the “Ruta de Pedra en Sec” (Dry Stone Route), is a spectacular long-distance hiking trail that winds through the breathtaking mountain scenery of the Serra de Tramuntana in Mallorca. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011, the trail stretches for approximately 140 kilometers from Port d’Andratx in the southwest to Pollença in the northwest of the island, passing steep cliffs, verdant valleys, fragrant pine forests, and ancient olive groves. The GR221 largely follows old, sometimes recently restored, dry stone walls and shepherds’ paths that have connected the region’s villages for centuries. Some sections lead along former charcoal burners’ trails and old mule tracks to remote farms or watchtowers. Mallorcans are particularly proud of the black vulture (Voltor Negre) and the midwife toad (Ferreret), which are among the native inhabitants of the Balearic Islands. When you hike in Mallorca, you’ll experience the traditional way of life of the islanders as it was hundreds of years ago. You’ll not only enjoy nature but also discover traces of Mallorcan history and culture. This unique combination of nature, culture, and history makes the hiking trail one of the most beautiful in Europe.
Our hiking tour takes you from Banyalbufar to Pollença in 6 varied stages. Along the way, you’ll discover the impressive mountain scenery of the Serra de Tramuntana, charming villages, and spectacular sea views. On days 3 and 4, you have a choice between two options: Those looking for a more challenging hike can walk directly from Valldemossa to Sóller via the famous Camí de S’Arxiduc. Alternatively, shorter stages are available, allowing more time to enjoy the scenery and relax.

Mallorcas Towns of muntanya: From Estellencs to Banyalbufar
The first stage starts from the southernmost village of the Tramuntana, the tranquil mountain village of Estellencs. Well-laid out paths lead through pine forests and the sea is our constant companion. We wander comfortably and enjoy the gentle sea breeze.
Banyalbufar/Esporles to Valldemossa
This hike leads through holm oak forests, past old charcoal burners and lime kilns to Valldemossa. In the afternoon you have time for a little stroll through the village, probably the most famous village in Mallorca.
Valldemossa/Deia a Soller
The easiest route of the hiking week leads along the “Camí des Pintors”, past old houses from the 13th century. This route of Arab descent used to serve as a link between the cities of Soller and Deia. When the weather is nice you can take several swimming breaks. There is also the option to take a walk through the mountain town of Sóller, considered the “capital” of the Tramuntana.
Through the Biniaraix ravine to the Tossals Verds refuge
The Biniaraix Gorge is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Serra de Tramuntana and has been declared a “public cultural asset”. This paved hiking trail is a fascinating combination of stone steps, rocks, water and wild vegetation. From Lake Cúber to the mountain hut we continue over the “Pas de Roca Llisa”.
Tossals Verds – Santuari de Lluc
Today the queen stage awaits us on the GR221. The climb begins gently through a forest and leads us to the steep walls of the Massanella. Once we reach the saddle, we enjoy an endless view while taking a break from the summit before the descent to Lluc awaits us.
Lluc to Pollenca
The last stage of the “Mallorca Crossing” takes you to Pollensa. Most of this stage leads along a forest path and is easy to walk. If you still have the strength and desire to reach a summit, the “Puig Tomir” is waiting for you right along the way. From the summit you will be compensated for the very steep climb with a fantastic view of Menorca.
