Mallorca route guide · Llevant & East Coast
Riding The túnel des Vidrier
The Ma-4040 spine of the Capdepera hub: out of Son Servera’s five-road rotonda, past the talaiot at Pula, up the vall to the lit 276 m túnel des Vidrier — legal to ride, with 42 m of rock overhead — and down under the castell into Capdepera.
This point-to-point line covers 10.3 km, from Son Servera to Capdepera through the east’s only bore.
The Pla is the subject here: worked parcels, mills, vines, almond and carob, long sightlines, and roads whose small changes in height are amplified by the open horizon.
Captured in muntro Relief, gradient, and how to pace it
The profile is restrained by Mallorca standards: 41 m separates its lowest and highest points. The interest comes from rhythm, surface changes, exposed straights, and the way the road moves through the landscape rather than one headline climb.
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
Son Servera
The route rolls away from Son Servera, giving you a few minutes to find cadence and read the road ahead.
- 02
Son Servera to Capdepera through the east’s only bore
Son Servera to Capdepera through the east’s only bore is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.
- 03
88 m high point
At 88 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 túnel des Vidrier 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.
