Climb Description
The Coll d'Orient begins close to the town of Alaró, on the southern edge of the Tramuntana Mountains. It is on the MA-2100 and you reach the Coll shortly before the village of Orient.The Coll d'Orient is one of our favourite climbs in Mallorca. The excellent road surface and gentle gradients make it accessible for cyclists of all levels, and the scenery is among the most picturesque on the island.
Shortly after passing the Coll d'Orient you reach the village of Orient, which is beautifully hidden amongst the mountains and makes a great place to stop for lunch or a coffee.
The landscape here is greener and more rolling than much of the Tramuntana range, making for a nice contrast with the more typical rock formations.
Roads & Traffic
The road surface is in excellent condition throughout the climb.
The climbs is not busy; a car will probably pass you every few minutes - the road is wide enough that it isn't bothersome though.
