This is the closest climb to town. The Ma-11 tunnel is 3,023 m long and, according to Epic Road Rides, Palma Weekly and the local press, bikes cannot use it; we found no official notice, so always follow the signs. Cyclists take the old road, the Ma-11A: according to Epic Road Rides you turn sharp left just before the tunnel.

• Length and ascent: about 7.5 to 7.8 km with roughly 420 m from the Soller side. Figures vary with the start point: Climbfinder gives 7.5 km and 327 m from the Bunyola side, and SeeMallorca measures a 5.8 km section with 304 m. Hotel Soller Plaza describes the south side as 4.9 km at 5 % and the north side as 7.4 km at 6 %.
• Summit: about 497 to 498 m above sea level.
• Hairpins: most are between km 3 and 7 from Soller; Climbfinder counts 25 from the Bunyola side.

The climb from Soller to the Puig Major tunnel on the Ma-10 is about 14.3 to 14.6 km depending on the source, with 855 to 864 m of ascent and an average gradient of 5.9 to 6.1 %. Climbfinder puts the summit at 868 m and SeeMallorca gives 14.5 km, 855 m and 5.9 %.

It is a long, steady climb rather than a brutal one. The Ma-10 carries car and bus traffic in summer, so start early. Tramuntana Tours offers a 100 km route, High Mountain Passes, linking Puig Major, Orient and the Coll de Soller (route page).

The Sa Calobra climb is about 9.4 km at an average of around 7 % according to Road Cycling UK; other sources give 9.5 to 10 km and 6.8 to 7.1 %. The maximum gradient quoted ranges from about 11 to 13 %. It is famous for its tight hairpins.

From Port de Soller, SeeMallorca describes an outward ride of about 75 km with almost 2,000 m of climbing, over Puig Major and the Coll dels Reis, with the last 2 km the hardest. Tramuntana Tours publishes the same 75 km route, with a route page and a GPX file on its site. In summer the road is busy with buses and hire cars. SeeMallorca mentions you can return by boat with your bike; confirm this with the boat company before planning.

SeeMallorca describes two coastal rides from Port de Soller:

• Out and back to Cala Deia: passes through Deia and Llucalcari and reaches a maximum altitude of about 225 m. Tramuntana Tours lists it at 27 km (route page). A good half-day with a swim stop.
• Valldemossa loop: follows the coast through Deia and Valldemossa and returns over three passes: Coll de Can Bleda (4.0 km, 204 m, 5.1 %), Sa Pedrissa (6.2 km, 273 m, 6.2 %) and the Coll de Soller (5.8 km, 304 m, 5.2 % for that section). Tramuntana Tours lists it at 57 km (route page).

Figures come from cycling and route sites and differ with start and end points; use them as a guide.

On its routes page Tramuntana Tours publishes MTB routes in the Soller valley (from easy to difficult, with distances on each route page) and leisure rides such as Explore the Soller Valley (16, 18 or 35 km). Its site says all routes are available as GPX or on Komoot, and it has a Komoot page. It also offers guided MTB tours and private tours on road, gravel and leisure rides.

For e-bikes, Tramuntana Tours, Kilometro Cero and Bike The Way hire them, and Kilometro Cero offers guided e-bike rides. Before leaving the tarmac, ask the shop about permitted tracks and follow the signage. For walking paths see hiking in Soller. We have not verified other gravel or MTB routes with consistent data.

We have not verified an independent bike workshop in Soller. Tramuntana Tours describes its Port shop as a shop and workshop, and Kilometro Cero mentions a puncture repair kit on its site. If you ride your own bike, ask your hotel (some state a repair station, see above) or a hire shop before you need help. Carry a spare tube and a pump.

• Autumn: good temperatures and fewer people.
• Closures: the Soller tunnel can close for works, and traffic then uses the Ma-11A. Check Consell de Mallorca notices before riding.
