Puig de Massanella
Description
Puig de Massanella is the highest accessible summit on Mallorca, rising within the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range.
On the Roof of Mallorca
At 1,364 metres, Puig de Massanella is the highest walkable peak on the island. From the summit, the views stretch across much of Mallorca, reaching the coastline and the nearby reservoirs. The ascent takes you through varied terrain: dense woodland, open hillsides, and — higher up — rockier ground that calls for a bit of scrambling.
Routes & Navigation
The two most commonly used starting points are the Repsol petrol station near Lluc and the Cúber reservoir. From the petrol station, signposts guide you at first; further into the terrain, cairns help with route-finding. Many hikers consider a navigation app with offline maps absolutely essential, as signage on the ground is patchy. The route from the Cúber reservoir initially follows the GR221, switching to cairns shortly before the col. Sturdy footwear is important on both routes.
Private Land & Access Fee
Part of the route crosses private land. A barrier near the start of the path is where an access fee is collected — cash is required on the spot, so if you haven't got any on you, you'll need to head back to the petrol station to get some.
Where to Start
The most popular starting point is near the Repsol Lluc petrol station, postcode 07315. There is a small car park directly opposite the station. From there, head towards the bend in the road, where the first signposts for Puig de Massanella branch off. Alternatively, Lluc Monastery can also serve as a starting point — though from there it's a few kilometres along a tarmac road before you reach the trailhead area at the petrol station.
Frequently Asked Questions
What navigation aids should I bring?
As signage on the trail is patchy, a navigation app — such as Komoot or AllTrails — with offline maps downloaded in advance is strongly recommended.
Can I reach the mountain by bus?
Lluc Monastery is reachable by bus from Inca, but from there it's still several kilometres on foot to the actual trailhead area at the Repsol petrol station.
Is there water available along the way?
There are no water sources on the route, so make sure you carry enough with you from the very start.
