> Hike part of the Serra Tramuntana in Mallorca
> Spend the nights in refuges
> Complete five stages of the GR221

We’ve put together a 7-day trek that lets you hike one of the most beautiful sections of the GR221—from Valldemossa to Pollença. So no, this isn’t the full trail, but rather a carefully chosen stretch that captures the best of Mallorca’s mountain magic. Along the way, you’ll stay mostly in cozy mountain refuges and experience the rugged charm of the Serra de Tramuntana. The full GR221 runs 140 kilometers from Port d’Andratx to Pollença, split into ten stages with over 6,000 metres of climbing and descending. Our version focuses on the northern half—still packed with variety and challenge. You won’t need climbing skills or mountaineering gear, but it’s not exactly a walk in the park either. Some sections are rocky, uneven, or exposed, requiring balance and attention. And with several days stretching beyond 15 kilometers and involving serious elevation changes, a decent level of fitness is a must.

The good news? There’s plenty of time to soak it all in. Expect mountain views, almond orchards, and peaceful moments in nature—plus a drink on a sunny terrace to end the day. It’s the perfect mix of effort and enjoyment. And when it comes to the logistics, we’ve got your back. From booking the huts to mapping out the route, we take care of everything. You just show up, hike, and enjoy.

For the final stretch the route offers two options, Bookatrekking.com has chosen the slightly longer but easier one. The shorter route is steeper and has a klettersteig. You continue your way along a canal and an aqueduct, all used for the island's water supply. You eventually reach Refugi de Tossals Verds, the finishing point of the day.
