Wo beginnt die Wanderung zum Castell?

Ihr habt zwei Möglichkeiten: für die längere Strecke parkt ihr unten am Fuß des Weges (39.714299, 2.800935) und geht die gesamten Serpentinen zu Fuß. Für die kürzere Runde müsst ihr die Serpentinen (Achtung eng!) mit dem Auto fahren und könnt oben am Restaurant parken (39.729289, 2.788621).

Wie schwer ist die Tour auf den Alaró?

Vorausgesetzt, die Ausdauer für die Länge der Strecke ist gegeben, ist die Runde recht einfach zu gehen. Vom Charakter erinnert sie an die Strecke auf den Puig de Maria: erst asphaltierte Serpentinen und dann in Stein gehauene Stufen. Für Kinderwägen allerdings nicht geeignet, für Kinder aber sicherlich.

Wie lange dauert die Wanderung auf den Alaró?

Von unten solltet ihr mit rund 4 Stunden rechnen – Pausen und Fotogelegenheiten sind da noch nicht mitgerechnet. Die obere Runde sollte etwa knapp 2 Stunden dauern.

Kann man sich unterwegs verlaufen?

Kaum, da man überwiegend einem Weg folgt, der dazu noch hier und da ausgeschildert ist. Dennoch macht es natürlich Sinn, unsere Karten zu verwenden und sich zu tracken!

Ist der Zugang beschränkt?

Hier und da gehen private Wege von der Route ab, der Wanderweg selbst ist aber frei und kostenlos zugänglich.

Gibt es unterwegs Wasser oder Einkehrmöglichkeiten?

Ja! Am Restaurant Es Verger auf halber Höhe und auch in der Hosteria auf dem Gipfel. Allerdings gilt das nicht ganzjährig, es macht also Sinn, sich vorher auf den Webseiten zu informieren.

Was sind die Highlights der Runde?

Highlights wäre ein großes Wort – aber dafür, dass die Runde nicht gerade eine Abenteuerrunde ist, bietet sie durchaus einiges an. Dazu zählt natürlich die Ruine des Castells, aber auch der Blick Richtung Palma und auf die höchsten Gipfel des Tramuntanas.

Was ist aus unserer Sicht noch zu beachten?

Das wichtigste ist wohl dass man sich mit dem Auto nicht vertun darf: Die Serpentinen sind zwar gut asphaltiert, aber sehr eng. Wer nicht gut rangieren kann oder Mühe hat, rückwärts zu fahren, sollte sein Auto am besten unten stehen lassen!

Where does the hike to the castle start?

You have two options: for the longer route, park down at the foot of the path (39.714299, 2.800935) and walk the entire set of switchbacks. For the shorter loop, you need to drive up the switchbacks (caution: narrow) and can park up by the restaurant (39.729289, 2.788621).

How difficult is the hike to Alaró?

Assuming you have the endurance for the length of the route, the loop is quite easy to walk. In terms of character, it is reminiscent of the hike to Puig de Maria: first paved switchbacks and then steps cut into the rock. It is not suitable for strollers, but fine for children.

How long does the hike to Alaró take?

Starting from the lower parking area, you should plan around 4 hours—breaks and photo stops are not included in that. The upper loop should take just under 2 hours.

Can you get lost on the way?

Hardly, as you mostly follow one path that is also signposted here and there. Still, it of course makes sense to use our maps and track the route.

Is access restricted?

Here and there, private paths branch off from the route, but the hiking trail itself is freely and publicly accessible.

Is there water or are there places to stop for food along the way?

Yes. At the restaurant Es Verger halfway up, and also at the hostelry at the summit. However, this is not available year-round, so it makes sense to check the websites in advance.

What are the highlights of the loop?

“Highlights” is a big word—but for a loop that is not exactly an adventure hike, it does offer quite a lot. This includes, of course, the castle ruins, but also the view towards Palma and of the highest peaks of the Tramuntana.

Anything else to keep in mind?

The most important thing is probably not to mess up with your car: the switchbacks are well paved, but very narrow. If you’re not good at manoeuvring or have trouble driving in reverse, it’s best to leave your car at the bottom.

Partners

Mallorca-Touren.com is an independent hiking and navigation portal for Mallorca. We prepare tours in a way that lets users explore the island independently — without app lock-in, with clear orientation, realistic assessment, and weather information that is genuinely relevant for decision-making.

Our content is practical and field-tested: every tour is personally hiked, checked and tested. In addition, we provide insider notes (“From our point of view, worth keeping in mind”) exactly where they really help outdoors — at key sections, in places where orientation mistakes are common, and where weather-related decisions matter.

Our audience

We mainly reach German-speaking, quality-oriented Mallorca travellers — holidaymakers, repeat visitors and residents — who are actively planning and making decisions: which tour to choose, when to start, what gear to bring, how to get there, and where to stay. That makes collaborations especially effective, because placements happen in a real usage context, not as generic banner advertising.

Why our content converts well

Mallorca-Touren works as a tool — not just as content:

Navigation without an app: live tracking in the browser, GPX download, orientation points, and a clear route logic.
3D terrain understanding: interactive 3D map for realistic self-assessment.
Weather as a decision tool: hourly forecast (starting point + summit/destination), weather overlays on the map, and live point-specific weather queries.
Low-advertising and trustworthy: discreet, helpful, without aggressive ad formats.

Collaboration opportunities (examples)

We integrate partners where users are already making decisions. Typical and proven modules include:

Weather & Safety – “powered by …”

Discreet co-branding in the weather section, including map overlays. Ideal for brands associated with safety, outdoor quality or reliable planning.

Arrival & Parking

Contextual placement on tour and region pages, for example for car rental, mobility or local services. Highly relevant during the planning phase.

Gear for This Tour

Curated gear panel for each tour, for example shoes, poles, backpack, sun protection or power bank. Suitable for outdoor shops, manufacturers and brands.

Region or hub pages presented by …

Visibility in orientation and research contexts, such as “Hiking in Mallorca” or regional collection pages. Suitable for premium providers.

Transparency and measurement

Depending on the partner setup, we use affiliate tracking and/or UTM parameters. Reporting is possible, for example monthly, including click-outs, module CTR, top pages or regions, and seasonal trends. Important: we deliberately keep placements helpful and low-advertising.

Interested in working with us?

We are happy to start with a pilot, for example for 3 months, and then optimise on the basis of real user data. Just send us a short note telling us which category is relevant for you — outdoor/gear, mobility/car rental, accommodation, insurance/services — and we will send you sample pages and a compact media kit.
