The climb out of Soller to the tunnel can be a bit scary as there is plenty of traffic, turn left at the tunnel, and it's a steady climb to the top, can be very shaded in parts. Great Cafe at the top, the descent down on the other side has poor road conditions as or sept 2024
This is one of the must-do climbs on the island of Mallorca. Unfortunately, the first part is hard because of the traffic, but once you leave the main road it's a real treat: shady road, good surface, virtually no traffic, even gradient and lots of twists and turns, absolutely brilliant!
C'est l'une des montées incontournables sur l'île de Majorque. La première partie est malheureusement pénible en raison du trafic mais une fois qu'on quitte la route principale c'est un véritable bonheur : route ombragée, beau revêtement, pratiquement pas de trafic, pente régulière et nombreux lacets, absolument génial !
First 3km is a bit tough along the busy road but once you turn off for the tunnel the fun begins. Beautiful climb with lots of hairpin bends. Highly recommended!
Eerste 3km is wat doorbijten langs de drukke weg maar eens je afslaat voor de tunnel begint de pret. Prachtige klim met heel wat haarspeldbochten. Aanrader!
The ascent of Col de Soller is a pleasure. Hairpin bends follow each other in quick succession. For me it was easy to do with 34 x 25/28. Out of the saddle now and then. The approach from Soller, however, is difficult and annoying because of the traffic rushing by from Palma (through the tunnel). The descent from Col de Soller to Bunyola is clear, but the last 2 km the road surface is terrible. The ascent of this col is a must if you are going to cycle on Malloca. Nice shady climb when going up and the descent in the sun. Be careful for wild goats that unexpectedly cross the road.
De beklimming van Col de Soller is een genot. Haarspeldbochten volgen elkaar in snel tempo op. Was voor mij goed te doen met 34 x 25/28. Af en toe uit het zadel. De aanloop vanuit Soller is echter lastig en hinderlijk vanwege het voortrazende verkeer i.d.r.v Palma(door de tunnel). De afdaling van Col de Soller richting Bunyola is overzichtelijk alleen de laatste 2 km een verschrikkelijk wegdek. De beklimming van deze col moet je zeker gedaan hebben als je op Mallorca gaat fietsen. Mooie schaduwrijke beklimming bij het omhoog gaan en de afdaling in de zon. Blijft wel oppassen voor wilde geiten, die onverwachts de weg oversteken.
My preferred site of the Coll de Sóller because the road surface is of better quality, there is more shade and Sóller is near the main cycling attractions in the island. I came from Palma so did the south side first, descended, and made a U turn at the north entrance of the tunnel near Sóller (2 km from the city centre). From there it took 25 min on my rented Cannondale Supersix Evo. Refueling at the top where you meet fellow riders. Both sides are a real hairpin festival.
This side of Coll de Soller is a bit longer and more difficult than the side from Bunyola. Also here little traffic and an abundance of hairpin bends. While the other side is quite open and sunny you drive here reasonably sheltered, because the whole climb is between 2 mountain ridges. There are also more trees here for some extra shade on a hot day.
Deze kant van Coll de Soller is een stukje langer en lastiger dan de kant vanaf Bunyola. Ook hier weinig autoverkeer en een overdaad aan haarspeldbochten. Terwijl de andere kant vrij open en zonnig is rijd je hier redelijk beschut, doordat de hele klim zich tussen 2 bergkammen bevind. Ook zijn er hier veel meer bomen die op een warme dag voor wat extra schaduw zorgen.
