Puig de na Franquesa Loop

For those with a spirit of adventure and a love for breathtaking mountain scenery, the Puig de na Franquesa Loop is an essential Mallorcan experience. This rewarding hike, set in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana, offers a perfect balance of challenge and reward. The trail begins at the shimmering Cúber Reservoir, a man-made marvel nestled amidst the dramatic limestone peaks. From there, you'll ascend towards the summit of Puig de na Franquesa, a journey that will test your mettle and reward you with ever-more-spectacular views. The path, a mix of rocky trails and occasional scrambles, demands a steady foot and a good level of fitness, but the effort is more than worth it. As you climb higher, the panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains, including the iconic Puig Major, will leave you breathless. The air is crisp and clean, and the silence is broken only by the cry of a soaring black vulture or the tinkle of sheep bells.
