Overview
The distinctive pyramid-shaped peak of Puig de Galatzó (1,027m) dominates the southern Tramuntana skyline and offers one of the most rewarding summit experiences on the island. Starting from the Font des Pi spring, the trail ascends through dense holm oak forest before breaking into open terrain with increasingly dramatic views. The final scramble to the summit rewards with a 360-degree panorama stretching from Palma Bay to the northern mountains.

Guide's Advice
"The summit can be windy even on calm days. Pack a windbreaker. The Font des Pi spring at the start is one of the few reliable water sources in the Tramuntana."
