Puig de Massanella

Puig de Massanella rises to 1,364 meters within the Serra de Tramuntana range, forming the second highest elevation point on the island of Mallorca.

The mountain's summit area contains several limestone pits that inhabitants used during past centuries to store snow for preservation throughout Mediterranean summers.

Local residents established multiple walking paths to reach the peak, marking routes with red dots and stone cairns to guide travelers through different difficulty levels.

The standard hiking route starts at Lluc monastery, covering 15.5 kilometers round trip with an elevation gain of 840 meters over varied terrain types.

Unlike the taller Puig Major, Massanella maintains its position as Mallorca's highest accessible peak due to military restrictions on its neighboring mountain.
