Mallorca route guide · Serra de Tramuntana
Riding The Sa Calobra Climb
The road ridden the way it is famous: from the sea at the port, up through the rock gate and all 26 hairpins, over its own bridge at the Nus de sa Corbata, and 723 metres of climbing in less than eleven kilometres to the plate at the Coll dels Reis.
This point-to-point line covers 10.6 km, from Port de Sa Calobra toward Coll dels Reis.
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
This is serious vertical terrain. The road spans 711 m from bottom to top and accumulates 716 m of ascent, with sampled ramps reaching 12.5%. The profile makes the pacing decision visible before the first pedal stroke.
Start conservatively and keep something in reserve for the final third. On a smart trainer the real gradient changes arrive exactly where the road changes, so a smooth power ceiling matters more than chasing speed on every ramp.
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
Port de Sa Calobra
The climb starts at the water, giving the full ascent an honest zero-metre baseline.
- 02
The rock gate
The lower road threads the narrow cleft before the mountain opens into the hairpin bowl.
- 03
Nus de sa Corbata
Sa Calobra’s famous tie-knot loop arrives late, when every extra metre counts.
- 04
Coll dels Reis
The finish plate stands above the last bends after 723 metres of continuous climbing.
Why this road works indoors
muntro does not flatten the Sa Calobra Climb 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.
