312.

From the sea into the Tramuntana, along the western coast and across the island’s quieter interior. A day whose scale reaches far beyond the mountains.

The mountains first. The whole island still ahead.

A day you will
remember.

The mountain roads arrive early on the Mallorca 312. From Playa de Muro, the course heads towards Pollença and climbs into the Tramuntana, joining Femenia to the reservoir country and the high road beneath Puig Major. It is a substantial journey before Sóller appears below, yet the descent leaves most of the day still to ride.

Beyond Sóller, the route follows the western side of the island before turning inland. There are more climbs around Valldemossa, the coast and Galilea; later, the smaller rises of the interior take over. The full course adds an eastern extension through Artà before returning to the sea. Its challenge is the combination: mountain climbing first, then the distance needed to complete the whole circuit.

CHAPTER 010–71 KM

Sea level to the high road

The opening roads approach Pollença before taking the Ma-10 west into the mountains. Femenia supplies the first sustained ascent, with limestone slopes and trees replacing the low ground near the coast. Its high point comes about 33 kilometres into the track, but this first crest does not end the upward journey.

The road rolls on past the Lluc junction towards Gorg Blau and Cúber. Beyond the reservoirs it reaches the high crossing near the Monnàber tunnel, then drops towards Sóller. This is the reverse of the familiar long climb from Sóller: the course approaches from the reservoir side and descends the western road into the valley.

CHAPTER 0271–160 KM

Mountains beside the sea

Leaving the Sóller valley, the course continues towards Deià and the higher roads around Valldemossa. The coast returns to view around Banyalbufar, where stone terraces descend towards the Mediterranean. The profile keeps breaking into separate rises and descents: reaching the sea does not mean the road has become level.

Estellencs and the crossing of Sa Gramola carry the ride towards Andratx. From there it turns through Es Capdellà and climbs to Galilea, then crosses towards Puigpunyent. Coll des Grau provides another rise before the descent to Esporles. This western sweep occupies almost another 90 kilometres after Sóller, with the high Tramuntana already behind it.

CHAPTER 03160–313 KM

The island opens out

Beyond Esporles, the profile changes scale. The big mountain crossings give way to lower roads through the interior, passing Lloseta and continuing towards the northern plain. This is where the full course reveals its length: the route turns away again for the eastern extension instead of bringing the day straight back to Playa de Muro.

Ariany leads into the roads towards Artà. The rises are smaller than those of the morning, but they belong to a ride that is approaching 300 kilometres. Artà comes roughly 286 kilometres into this track; the final roads lead back towards the bay and Playa de Muro. The finish closes a circuit of contrasting landscapes, rather than a single chain of mountain passes.

    GPX high point near Monnàber

    Femenia begins the mountain passage, but the route keeps gaining height beyond its crest. The roads past Gorg Blau and Cúber connect that first ascent to the crossing near Monnàber. The route's highest point is at about 56 kilometres into the day, before the long descent towards Sóller.

    This sequence gives the opening its scale: an ascent from the Pollença side, rolling mountain roads and another climb into the reservoir country. The route stays on the Ma-10 through the tunnel area. It does not take the separate restricted road towards Puig Major’s summit.
