  • Playa de Muro - Cala Sant Vicenç

If you have started to cycle recently, you might want to choose that route since its level is not too high. But that doesn’t make it less spectacular! It features 42 km and passes through wonderful and peaceful roads in the area of s’Albufereta.Together with wonderful views of the Serra Tramuntana it will make you appreciate more this sport.

  • Playa de Muro and Coll de Femenia

We recommend this route for the experienced cyclists. You start from Playa de Muro and go 78 km until you reach one of the most famous part of North Mallorca, Coll de Femenia.

  • La Tramuntana route

By the professionals it is considered as one of the most advanced routes in Mallorca. And as one of the most breathtaking. Though it is 110 km of a great effort, it is truly worth it, as meanwhile you are pedalling you are enjoying all the magnificent views of the Sierra de Tramuntana, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage in 2011. If you feel encouraged and you are an advanced cyclist, than we recommend you to start in Alcudia.

  • Puerto de Alcudia - Cabo de Formentor

This wonderful 65 km route can be found in the ranking of the best cycling routes in the world. Departing from the Hotel VIVA Sunrise you will pass through the port of Pollença, to reach the Talaia d'Albercutx, while enjoying the incredible view of the Formentor lighthouse. The level of difficulty of this route is high, but without a doubt it is worth the pain as the spectacular views and the scenery will pay it off.

  • Sa Calobra (Alcudia - Cala Tuent - Sa Calobra) 

Sa Calobra is a cove located in the Sierra de Tramuntana. The road, that is also called Sa Calobra, features only 14 km but it is full of sharp turns with a lot of traffic. We warn you: it will test your legs, but we promise it is worth to reach the goal. You will not regret!
