Riding Molí del Comte
The Ma-1042 is two and a half kilometres long and it is the hinge of the whole western foothills: without it the Ma-1041 to Puigpunyent and the Ma-1040 to Establiments are two separate roads out of Palma. Ride the hinge — up the Camí de Jesús and the Ma-1041 to the mill, across to Establiments on the Ma-1042, and back down the Ma-1040 to the avinguda d’Alemanya. Thirteen kilometres that start and finish in the city.
This point-to-point line covers 13 km, from Out of Palma on the Ma-1041, across the mill road, home through Establiments.
The mountain character comes from more than gradient. Limestone, tunnel mouths, dry-stone edges, pine shade, reservoirs, and compressed hairpins change the view as much as the elevation.
Captured in muntro Relief, gradient, and how to pace it
The elevation trace is rolling rather than alpine, spanning 94 m from low point to high point. There is 112 m of total ascent, enough to reward measured pressure over the rises without turning the whole route into a survival exercise.
Use the opening kilometres to find cadence and keep the power smooth. The route is ideal for endurance work, recovery riding, or simply exploring the island without a large climbing bill.
Points to watch for
The best Mallorca routes are remembered as a sequence of places, not as a GPX line. These are the changes of scene that organise this ride.
- 01
Palma — Camí de Jesús
The route rolls away from Palma — Camí de Jesús, giving you a few minutes to find cadence and read the road ahead.
- 02
Out of Palma on the Ma-1041, across the mill road, home through Establiments
Out of Palma on the Ma-1041, across the mill road, home through Establiments is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

116 m high point
At 116 m high point, the elevation trace reaches its ceiling before the road releases the height it has earned.
Why this road works indoors
muntro does not flatten Molí del Comte into a workout backdrop. The route’s bends, height, and junction order come from the road itself, while a compatible trainer reproduces the changing gradient under your pedals.
The point-to-point format gives the session a destination. There is no need to invent a finish when the real road already has one.
