When is the best time of year to hike in Mallorca?

The best time of year to hike in Mallorca is during the spring and early autumn months, specifically from late March to May and again from September to mid-November. During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild, with temperatures typically ranging from 15 to 25 degrees Celsius (59 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit). This comfortable climate allows hikers to fully enjoy the stunning landscapes without the sweltering heat of summer, which can exceed 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) and make more challenging trails quite strenuous.

Spring is particularly enchanting as the island bursts into bloom, with wildflowers carpeting the hillsides and the air filled with the sweet scent of blooming almond trees. The trails are less crowded during this time, allowing for a more serene experience as you traverse the breathtaking scenery of the Tramuntana mountains or the coastal paths. In autumn, the landscape transforms again, with the summer crowds dissipating and the sea remaining warm enough for a refreshing dip after a day of hiking. This season also offers the added benefit of vibrant foliage, making the views even more picturesque. Overall, both spring and autumn provide ideal conditions for exploring Mallorca’s diverse hiking trails while enjoying the island's natural beauty at its best.
