Coll d'Honor Loop

Distance

80.4 km

Elevation gain

1,272 m

A loop centred on the Coll d'Honor and the beautiful Orient valley, one of the quietest and prettiest corners of the Tramuntana. At 80km with 1272m of climbing, it's a satisfying mountain day without the extremes. The climb up to Orient and over the Honor is steady and shaded, winding through woodland and old stone villages. The descent the other side runs down toward Bunyola, smooth and flowing. Orient is tiny but has a stop or two; otherwise refuel in the larger towns at either end of the loop. The road surface is good throughout. Best in spring and autumn, though the shade on the Honor makes it pleasant even on warmer days.
