Excursions & Activities in Sóller

Sóller sits nestled in the valley of the same name, framed by the peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana and wide orange groves that have earned the town its nickname "Orange Valley" for generations. Talk of excursions and activities around here usually blends mountain hiking, a historic train ride and time by the water – exactly this range is reflected in the 29 listings under Excursions & Activities for Sóller.

Many explorations start at the Estación de Sóller, from where the historic wooden train has run between the valley and Palma for over a hundred years and counts as a small excursion in itself. From here, the surroundings open up in different directions: hikes into the Tramuntana mountains, a wine tasting nearby at Ecovinyassa, or time by the water at Sóller Playa, where beach and bay offer a quieter kind of outing. In between are numerous other providers, ranging from cycling tours to boat trips along the coast.

Anyone planning the train ride or a hike does well to check schedules and mountain weather beforehand, since conditions in the Tramuntana can shift noticeably with the season. For tours with limited spots, such as wine tastings or boat trips, booking ahead is advisable, especially since Sóller is easily reached both by car over the mountain road's hairpin bends and by train or tram.
