Climb Description
The climb to Coll de Sóller from the south begins at the entrance to the tunnel on the Ma-11, situated 2km to the north of Bunyola. There is a roundabout just before the entrance to the tunnel, where you must turn left - here you will see the sign indicating the start of the climb.The Coll de Sóller used to be the main road to Sóller before the tunnel was opened in the 1990s. Nowadays most cars use the tunnel, leaving the Coll for us cyclists. The southern side is characterised by numerous hairpins which maintain a very steady gradient throughout.
This side is the slightly more scenic of the two sides, with very picturesque views looking back down the mountain. The road is also bordered on both sides by a traditional dry stone wall which is very typical of Mallorca.
Coll de Sóller is open throughout the year.
