Mallorca route guide · Serra de Tramuntana
Riding Up to Bonany
The short climb every Petra cyclist knows. The Camí de Bonany leaves the town's south junction through almond and carob terraces and tightens into the last pitches under the pines to the Ermita de Bonany, where Junípero Serra said goodbye before sailing for California, and where the whole Pla spreads out below.
This point-to-point line covers 4.2 km, from Petra toward the Camí de Bonany toward the Ermita de Bonany.
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 191 m from low point to high point. There is 199 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

287 m high point
At 287 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 Up to Bonany 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.
