Serra de Tramuntana - Central 1

181.4 km makes this the longest of the 8 official routes this site publishes as a track. It goes up Coll d'Honor from Bunyola, Coll d'Honor from Orient and Coll d'Orient from Orient, plus 1 more. It starts in Sa Coma, it is signposted on the road, and the Consell publishes it as 176.6 km of prose with no track, no profile and no GPX. Here it is as all three.

The line

The reconstructed track over the island, drawn from our own derived geometry — no map tiles and no third-party request. 181.4 km, starting and finishing in Sa Coma.

Which part of the island

35.4% of this route’s 181.4 km runs in Pla de Mallorca. It touches four of Mallorca’s six comarques and crosses a boundary between them 6 times.

The route is published under Serra de Tramuntana’s name, and 15.8% of it is in Serra de Tramuntana — less than the 35.4% it spends in Pla de Mallorca. The name describes what the route reaches, not where it spends the day, and a rider choosing it for Serra de Tramuntana should know which.

A segment that straddles a boundary is counted whole on one side; across this route’s 6 crossings that is at most 365 m.

The profile

Elevation sampled every 20 m from Spain’s 5 m national terrain model and smoothed over 100 m. Highest point 555 m at km 94.0; lowest 41 m.

What this route is for

Take this one when you want distance. 181.4 km is the longest of the 8 routes published here, and it is signposted the whole way.

• 181.4 km is a full day out, not an afternoon.
• Five kilometres from km 80.8 average 6.1%.
• It tops out at 555 m, at km 94.0 — high enough to be materially colder than the coast.

Ranked against the 8 official routes whose reconstruction passes both checks: the 3rd most for ascent, the 5th steepest per kilometre, the longest.

The measured climbs on it

Matched by geometry against the 122 climb-sides this site has measured — the track has to pass within 120 m of both a climb’s foot and its summit, and ride roughly its length between them. Nothing is matched by name.

A descent is shown at the kilometre it goes over the top: the record carries the summit and the foot, not the point the descent ends, so no range is invented for it.

Where the height sits

The route in ten-kilometre blocks. 2,013 m of ascent over 181.4 km says nothing about whether it arrives all at once, and on this route it does not.

The roads it uses

Read off the reconstruction rather than off the itinerary: this is where the track actually ran, longest first. 75.0% of its length is on roads the Consell names for this route.

Where it starts

The Consell puts the start at Sa Coma, at the avinguda de les Savines / Ma-4021 junction.

It passes through none of the base towns this site measures, which is worth knowing before you plan a week around it.

Towns with beds within reach

The route touches none of these towns, so each one is a road transfer to the nearest place the route can be joined — the distance and the town it is joined at are both below.

Staying on the route

The Consell starts this route at Sa Coma. Search accommodation in Sóller, the nearest town on it this site has measured:

Getting to the start with a bike is the other half of the day, and the Consell starts most of these routes away from the airport.

How this reconstruction was checked

The Consell publishes 176.6 km for this route. Our reconstruction measures 181.4 km — +2.7%.

It is a circuit, and this reconstruction returns to its start at the same point.

75.0% of the distance ran on roads the Consell names for this route.

A reconstruction is published as a track only when it agrees with the published distance inside a stated tolerance. The rule, and the same check for all sixteen routes, is on the routes atlas.

How to read these numbers

• Ascent is smoothed over 100 m. Unsmoothed, a 5 m terrain model adds hundreds of metres of climbing the road does not have, which is most of why two published figures for the same ride disagree.
• The distance is our reconstruction's, not the Consell's. Theirs is 176.6 km and it is the check this one is scored against, never a value copied into the page.
• The signs are the authority for what is standing on the road today. Signage changes faster than any publication, and the Consell's own page for this route is linked below.
• 40 m of this route is in tunnel or on bridge, where the elevation is interpolated between the portals rather than read off the hill above.
