Description of the route

The classic: Caimari – Coll de Sa Bataia

Coll de Sa Bataia is probably the most well known and most riden mountain of cyclist’s island that is Mallorca. Amongst insiders it is also called ‘petrol station’.

The adventure Bergzeithelden starts at the exit of the village Caimari, which is commonly known by its annual olive festival called ‘die Fira de Olivas’. The ascent to Coll de Sa Bataia consists of a run of approximately 8km(5miles) passing through a high valley with mostly dense forest, including picturesque crag trenches and terrassed olive groves. You will be impressed by the play of colours caused by the sunlight at any time of the day.

Having arrived at the plateau of Sa Bataia you will soon have forgotten the exertions of the climb when sitting on the sunny terrace of the restaurant bearing the same name. The thriving atmosphere here will provide ample opportunities for socialising.
