Puig de N'Alí

Excursions & ActivitiesSelva5.0(24)Google

Puig de N'Alí is a hiking summit in the municipality of Selva in the Tramuntana mountains of Mallorca — well off the beaten track and blissfully quiet.

The Summit

Puig de N'Alí is a challenging climb, but one that rewards you handsomely with spectacular views. On a clear day you can see as far as Cabrera and Menorca, as well as the Serra de Tramuntana stretching out below. Once you reach the top, a panorama of half the island opens up — including the neighbouring Massanella. The summit area itself is rocky and narrow, with little space between the large boulders.

The Ascent & Route-Finding

One popular route starts at the Coll de sa Batalla: from there you reach the Coll de sa Línia in around 50 minutes, turn left, and follow a steep path marked with cairns for a further 40 to 45 minutes to the top. An ascent from Lluc is also possible and takes under two hours. Signposting is good on the lower sections; on the final stretch you need to follow red dots and cairns, so keep your eyes peeled. Those starting from the south can head up via Caimari and the Comellar dels Horts. If you're looking for the path to Puig de N'Alí, follow the signs for Puig Massanella until a fork branches off.

Away from the Crowds

Compared to the neighbouring Massanella, Puig de N'Alí sees far fewer walkers. If you're after peace and quiet and uninterrupted views, this is the place for you. At the summit there is also a cave with candles, which is occasionally used as a makeshift overnight shelter.

Location

Puig de N'Alí lies within the municipality of Selva (postcode 07313) in the Balearic Islands, nestled within the Serra de Tramuntana.
