Mallorca route guide · Serra de Tramuntana
Riding The Full Horseshoe
Everything the road has: over the pass, the whole descent to the port, and the long climb back.
This point-to-point line covers 43.9 km, from MA-10 toward Coll dels Reis toward Sa Calobra.
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 1,176 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
the fuel station, Coll de sa Batalla
The route rolls away from the fuel station, Coll de sa Batalla, giving you a few minutes to find cadence and read the road ahead.
- 02
MA-10
MA-10 is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.
- 03
Coll dels Reis
Coll dels Reis is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.
- 04
Sa Calobra
Sa Calobra is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

722 m high point
At 722 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 the Full Horseshoe 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.
