Des Pi Font
Description
Des Pi Font is a walking area with a historic spring near Puigpunyent, serving as the starting point for the ascent of Puig de Galatzó.
Starting Point for Puig de Galatzó
Des Pi Font is best known as the trailhead for the hike up Puig de Galatzó — a route that ranks as a classic among Mallorca's mountains. From here, the path climbs into the Serra de Tramuntana, passing through beautiful natural landscapes with sweeping views along the way. Wildlife can regularly be spotted on the trail. The spring that gives the spot its name is currently dry, so make sure you bring plenty of water with you.
Getting There & Parking
Des Pi Font is reached via an unpaved access road near Puigpunyent. The final stretch to the small gravel car park is riddled with deep potholes and loose stones; passable by car if you take it slowly, but unsuitable for motorbikes or scooters. Sat-navs sometimes suggest a route through Galilea — this road is impassable and should be avoided entirely. If you'd rather play it safe, park further down and walk the rest of the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the spring (font) on site working?
No — the spring is dry. Make sure you bring enough water to last the entire hike.
Can I drive a standard car all the way to the car park?
Yes, it's manageable in a standard car as long as you drive slowly and carefully. The road is unpaved with deep potholes and is not suitable for motorbikes or scooters. The route through Galilea is impassable and should be avoided.
Is the hiking trail signposted?
There is no signage at the trailhead, though walkers do find their way to the summit. Good preparation with a map or GPS track is strongly recommended.
