Nice and even climb from Sollèr. After a few kilometres you already have nice views of the valley where Sollèr lies. At 1/3 of the climb, it is worth descending 1 km to the pretty village of Fornalutx for good coffee or lunch. It namely to know that on top of the pass there is nothing. Just before and just after the tunnel you do have stunning views.... read more

Like the Sa Calobra a climb you must do on Mallorca. Wonderful! Road is like a billiard cloth. And even though this climb combined with the pleasant percentages makes for a nice runner, the length of the climb demands enough of your body.

Net zoals de Sa Calobra een klim die je moet doen op Mallorca. Prachtig! Weg is als een biljartlaken. En ook al is deze klim in combinatie met de aangename percentages een lekkere loper, de lengte van de klim vraagt genoeg van je lijf.

A super climb to do on your way to Sa Calobra, very good road surface.

An absolute cracker! It never ends. The challenge on this climb is a mental one. Can you withstand the heat, the monotony, the 9 miles of solid uphill? Incredible views and pretty quiet roads too.

Mooie en gelijkmatige klim vanuit Sollèr. Na enkele kilometers heb je al mooi uitzicht op het dal waar Sollèr ligt. Op 1/3 van de beklimming is het de moeite waard om 1 km af te dalen naar het mooie plaatsje Fornalutx voor goede koffie of lunch. Het namelijk te weten dat er bovenop de pas niks is. Vlak voor en vlak na de tunnel heb wel je schitterend uitzicht.

Very nice and long climb. The views of Sóller from the high roads are impressive. There weren’t many cars when I went there

Longest climb on Mallorca, very worthwhile. Wide road and excellent tarmac. Fairly busy in terms of traffic, but nowhere dangerous due to the wide roads and good behaviour of most drivers. Light in the tunnels is handy, but there are plenty who do without.

Langste klim op Mallorca, zeer de moeite waard. Brede weg en uitstekend asfalt. Redelijk druk qua verkeer, maar door de brede wegen en het goede gedrag van de meeste automobilisten nergens gevaarlijk. Lichtje in de tunnels is handig, maar er zijn er genoeg die het zonder doen.

Wide road, a lot of cars but never dangerous. Beautiful views over Port de Sóller. Ends at the tunnnel and then you can go further to two lakes (Embassament de Cúber and Gorg Blau), Coll dels Reis, and of course descend to Sa Calobra. Don't forget to visit Port de Sóller as well where you can rehydrate and rent bikes.

The longest climb with the most height meters on Mallorca. I rode a slightly different variant myself, from the centre of Soller first towards Fornalutx, then the same way. I found it a great climb, good tarmac (as in fact almost everywhere on Mallorca), nice views and no steepness at all.

De langste klim met de meeste hoogtemeters op Mallorca. Ik heb zelf een iets andere variant gereden, vanuit het centrum van Soller eerst richting Fornalutx, daarna dezelfde weg. Ik vond het een heerlijke klim, goed asfalt (zoals eigenlijk bijna overal op Mallorca), mooie uitzichten en stijgingspercentages die nergens heel moeilijk zijn.

Lovely long climb. It starts with a nice climbing percentage, then it's a bit easier for five kilometers and this leaves you with something left for the last four kilometers which are again against 7%. Beautiful rocky and wooded area. It is a busy road, with many motorcycles at the end of the afternoon. At the top is a tunnel of about 300 meters, it is quite dark so make sure you have light on your bike.

Heerlijke lange klim. Het begint met een mooi klimpercentage, daarna is het vijf kilometer iets gemakkelijker en daardoor houd je wat over voor de laatste vier kilometers die weer tegen 7% zijn. Mooie rotsachtige en boomrijke omgeving. Het is wel een drukke weg, met aan het eind van de middag veel motoren. Bovenop is een tunnel van zo'n 300 meter, die is vrij donker dus zorg dat je licht op je fiets hebt.
