Bicycle hire Mallorca: explore Balitx valley

Soller is bicycle hire Mallorca heartland. Why? Because Soller is packed with great bicycle trails for riders of all levels. So what if you are a relatively experienced cyclist? Don’t miss exploring the fertile Balitx Valley, which immerses you in authentic rural Mallorca. Choose from a Grade 2 or Grade 3 trip. Whichever cycling option matches your skill level, Tramuntana Tours has your bicycle hire Mallorca needs covered.

Tramuntana Tours will equip you with all necessary cycling gear plus a guide if you want one. So your Balitx Valley biking adventure begins 400 metres above sea level. A Grade 2 ride will see you and your ride transported to a beautiful spot overlooking Puerto Soller. If you are tackling Grade 3, you are on your bike from the get-go. But it is well worth the effort. Your ride will take you through tranquil olive groves on a four-wheel drive track.

Once you reach the Mirador it’s down into the picturesque Balitx Valley. As you navigate the dirt track be charmed by the lining of stone terraces and laden olive trees. Craggy rock faces look on overhead adding depth and interest to the views. 

All the way down you’ll go to the bottom of the valley. By now you’ll have worked up a thirst so it’s time for refreshment with a twist. Historic farmhouse Balitx d’Avall has a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice with your name on it. Made fresh from Mallorcan grown and handpicked oranges of course.

Fortified by your fresh juice another ascent awaits you and your bike on the way to Fornalutx. Cycle the old Balitx road back to pretty Soller. All up, you can expect to be onboard your two wheeled steed for about four hours. You’ll be off road for 95 per cent of this time, with loads to see. 

Now Tramuntana Tours has your cycling Mallorca needs all taken care of. All you need to think about is where to stay after a vigorous day’s biking. Fortunately Soller has various boutique hotels.

Take a look at:

•    Son Bleda: originally an 11th century monastery, now a luxuriously restored boutique hotel Mallorca
•    Cas Curial: nestle yourself in the peaceful beauty of the Tramuntana mountain ranges. Modern comforts, manicured gardens and a sparkling outdoor pool await
•    Can Ai: a stunning rural hotel Mallorca set amidst ancient citrus trees. Enjoy the best of both worlds with contemporary comforts and traditional decor
