The Puig de Sant Salvador on Mallorca is one of the island’s most iconic cycling climbs. The summit reaches 460 metres and overlooks the town of Felanitx below. A medieval sanctuary has stood at the top since the 14th century, drawing pilgrims and cyclists alike.
Furthermore, the Puig de Sant Salvador holds a firm place in Mallorca’s cycling history. Pro teams have used it for decades as a benchmark during their spring training camps. The steady 5.4 percent average gradient, combined with sharp ramps hitting 11.1 percent, makes it a reliable form test.
Puig de Sant Salvador: The Classic Mallorca Cycling Climb
Above all, the views from the top make the Puig de Sant Salvador truly memorable. We start and finish in Felanitx, covering 6.1 kilometres and 331 metres of elevation gain in total. The hilltop monastery and the giant Christ statue are therefore the perfect reward waiting at the summit.
