Trail running the empty GR221 is magnificent and a real surprise when visiting Mallorca. We often associate the island with beautiful beaches and overlook the stunning Tramuntana mountain range that extends across the island.
We expect the trails to be quiet, travelling through along dry-stone paths (where the route took its name), forests, and through orange, olive, and other citrus groves. We will also pass through many quiet traditional villages and local provincial towns with their cobbled streets and open-air cafes. All the while the loft heights of the Tramuntana will flank us on one side.
At times we will climb steeply through wide canyons and the trail can become particularly dry and rocky where care and attention need to be given. A handful of our days include some steep climbs, but they are worth it as the reward is spectacular views from the top. Our longest day on the trail is 20km when we travel from Soller to Lluc. Our maximum altitude will reach around 1,200m.
B (MODERATE)
The moderately graded trail runs normally. Follow on well-established trails and routes at lower altitudes which are generally lower than 1,500m. Some of the trails will involve some short, steep ascents. Previous experience is not essential.
Suitable for runners who are fit and active and can comfortably run up to 6 – 10 miles per day. The trips involve lots of impromptu stops and our time on the trail will typically be between 3-4 hours per day.
