The Tramuntana Mountains are Mallorca&#8217;s most famous mountain landscape and also form the largest nature reserve on the western side of the island. In 2011, UNESCO declared the majestic Serra de Tramuntana range on Mallorca, with its famous dry stone walls, a World Heritage Site. Rightly so, because whether by car, on a bike, or on an extensive hike &#8211; the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range is an absolute must on a holiday in Mallorca.<\/p>\n<p>From the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tui-blue.com\/hotels\/tui-blue-rocador.html\">TUI BLUE Rocador<\/a>, you&#8217;ll need about 1 to 1.5 hours to get to the Tramuntana Mountains by car. It&#8217;s best to hire a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/7-tipps-auto-mieten-urlaub\/\">rental car<\/a> to explore the west coast of Mallorca. In addition to the imposing mountains, the Serra de Tramuntana on Mallorca offer numerous excursion destinations and sights.
