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.
