Mallorca, with its smooth roads, stunning climbs and excellent infrastructure, is a paradise for cyclists. The largest of the Balearic Islands archipelago, has been a haven for those looking to get some extra sun as the weather begins to turn and winter approaches.
But unfortunately we can’t all spend all our time on the Spanish island. But thankfully, the indoor training app ROUVY has you covered, providing a platform for a virtual cycling world consisting of a number of the best routes from Mallorca.
For most of us, we will only get to experience Mallorcan roads all-too briefly, on week-long trips, but the ROUVY’s routes provide the opportunity in between those holidays to enjoy the island’s riding virtually from our own homes. The immersive routes offer the perfect way to get ready for your Mallorcan getaway or get through the post-holiday blues by letting you ride the island's most scenic routes.
One of the best aspects of riding in Mallorca is the abundance of climbs like the famous ascent from the town of Sa Calobra, the longest climb on the island, Puig Major, and the punchy ride to the lighthouse at Cap de Formentor. Here are some of the best Mallorcan climbs you can test yourself on on ROUVY.
Sa Calobra to Coll de sa Batalla - 20.8km, 845m of elevation
The climb from Sa Calobra is the most well-known climb in Mallorca. It features a 270° spiral bridge, called the "Nus de sa Corbata" (The Tie Knot). Twisting up the climb, every switchback draws you deeper into cycling lore. Bringing the legendary climb indoors, ROUVY has shown real-world gradients, stunning visuals, and precise simulation blur the line between virtual and visceral. From hairpins to horizon, it’s all here — sweat, struggle, and the sublime — without ever leaving your turbo.
Puig Major from Port de Sóller - 25.5km, 980m of elevation
From the harbour at Port de Sóller, Puig Major rises with relentless intent — 25.5km of ascending rhythm, crowned as Mallorca’s longest climb. ROUVY captures its essence in full: the dark tunnels, sweeping bends, and towering cliffs rendered with immersive precision. It’s not just elevation — it’s elevation gained with purpose. Saddle up, log in, and let the island’s mightiest climb come to you.
Cap de Formentor - 19.16km, 527m of elevation
Cap de Formentor is no single summit — it’s a constant undulation of coast-hugging curves, sharp ramps, and descents that dare you to push harder. Spanning 19.16km with 527m of elevation, it’s Mallorca’s most cinematic ride. On ROUVY, every flick of the road, every sea-glinting vista is faithfully rendered. It’s rhythm, disruption, beauty — captured and yours to conquer, indoors.
Alcúdia to Coll de sa Batalla - 28.8km, 720m of elevation
From Alcúdia’s flatlands to the twisting ascent of Coll de sa Batalla, this 28.8km route builds like a symphony — steady, then soaring. With 720m of elevation, it’s a study in patience and power. On ROUVY, the transition from quiet countryside to the climb’s lush switchbacks is seamless. It’s not just a route — it’s a journey from Mallorca's coast to its interior, indoors.
Andratx to Col de sa Bastida - 28.6km, 849m of elevation
Winding out of Andratx and into the island’s rugged spine, the 28.6km to Coll de sa Bastida is Mallorca at its most untamed. With 849m of elevation and no shortage of sharp gradients, it’s a route that rewards resilience. On ROUVY, every twist, crest, and vista is rendered in immersive detail. This isn’t just virtual riding — it’s full-bodied escapism.
