Short breaks for residents
Ecotourism & Walking excursions in the Sóller valley
Offers for residents with 3 different accomodations to choose
Official language of the short break: Spanish
Short breaks for residents in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana.
The best way to take advantage of a long weekend or a bank holiday in Mallorca, is to surround yourself with people with the same interest for the nature as you. To share quality experiencies, specially like the ones deisigned by MallorcAlpina, together with other people from the island, equals to live unique moments related with the friendship, the environment, the culture and the primary sector, together with the practice of sport in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana.
We are going to pay special attention so that the program, with its activities, is the most positive for everyone. We want it to have a minimal impact on the environment and at the same time, we want also tu understand its wealth and its problems. Without a doubt we want it to be a benefit of each and every one of the public or private establishments through which we pass.
From MallorcAlpina, with more than 20 years “walking with tourists through the mountains” (this is a friendly way to define our work), we believe that the time has come to offer the Balearic resident the opportunity to meet in several days and from the hand of a professional, the highlights of the Sóller valley, an island within the island.
