Climb Description
Coll d'Honor begins in the village of Bunyola, situated just off the Ma-11, the main road between Palma and Soller. It follows the Ma-2100 heading in the direction of Orient and the top of the climb is marked by a brown sign.Coll d'Honor is a pleasant climb which connects two delightful villages in Bunyola and Orient. The climb itself doesn't present many great views, although it is a pleasant ride throught the woodland.
From the top of the climb though, after a short descent, the scenery really opens up and is some of the most spectacular in Mallorca, as you reach a small plateau either side of Orient.
The location of Coll d'Honor makes it excellent for connecting climbs together and it also provides a technical descent, with a lot of sharp hariprin bends which can improve your bike handling.
Coll d'Honor is open throughout the year and is very rarely affected by snow, even in the coldest winters. In July and August it can be very hot, but much of the climb is in shade.
Roads & Traffic
The road surface is generally in good condition. It is not absolutely perfect like many of the climbs are in Mallorca. The asphalt is rough in places and gives a bit of buzz when descending, but it is still absolutely fine on a road bike.
There is little traffic on the climb throughout the year.
