It’s beautiful and not too difficult at all. The hike takes 2 to 3 hours, starting at Soller train station. Along the way, you will see pretty towns such as Fornaiux and Biniaraix.

Torrent de Pareis
This is not just any hike, it’s a gorge hike not meant for beginners! Torrent de Pareis is an intense 5-hour hiking trail that involves climbing rocks and passing through narrow gaps between rocks. Great for the true adventurous among us. Those who enjoy a good challenge, know no fear and have a good dose of willpower. There is no mobile phone reception in the gorge and the gorge is steep.

This hike can only be done from May to September due to the chance of flooding in the winter months.
