What are the best times of year to hike to the Puig de Galatzo?

The best times to hike to the Puig de Galatzo are typically in the spring and fall, specifically from late March to early June and from September to mid-November. During these months, the weather in Mallorca is pleasantly mild, making for comfortable hiking conditions. In spring, you’ll be treated to vibrant wildflowers and lush greenery, creating a picturesque backdrop for your trek. Fall offers similar mild temperatures, and the landscape can take on beautiful autumn hues, enhancing the natural beauty of the route.

Summer, while popular for many outdoor activities, can be quite hot on the Puig de Galatzo, with temperatures frequently exceeding 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). This heat can make the hike more challenging and less enjoyable, especially for those not accustomed to strenuous activity in warmer conditions. Winter, on the other hand, can bring cooler temperatures and occasional rain, which may render the trails slippery and less accessible, particularly for inexperienced hikers. Therefore, planning your hike during the spring or fall ensures both safety and the opportunity to fully appreciate the stunning scenery that the area has to offer.
