- Coll de Sa Moleta Rasa (9.4 km)
- Pas des Cossis (10.0 km)
- Coll des Pi (13.0 km)
The pyramid shaped Puig de Galatzó (1027 meters high) is the southernmost of the Tramuntana / Mallorca mountains above 1000 meters.
This walk ascends from the southeast / Puigpunyent (the ridge path) and descends to the northwest / coast (the classic path).
By disregarding my walks around the top the walk is both shorter in length and height.
From Puigpunyent bus stop take the Galilea road Ma-1032 and after a few meters turn right onto Cami de sa Teulera. In one corner there is a sign announcing the address of the “Puig de Galatzó-Es Ratxo Reserve”. Continue along this road, until the road splits, and then do not longer follow the “Reserve” indication, but continue to the right. After 6.25 km on paved/asphalt road mostly in woods, and shortly before the asphalt ends, leave the road to the left and take a dirt road. After a few minutes pass through a dilapidated barrier that is open and further on in a curve to the left pay attention to a milestone to the right as it marks the beginning of the path to the ridge, the Pas des Ratxo at 652 meters above sea level.
Turn right after the pass and follow the milestones since there is no path. The climb is quite steep until the South Ridge of Puig de Galatzó. Continue upwards, turning slightly to the right. Follow the ridge of the mountain and milestones to a first secondary summit at 843 meters. Follow a series of milestones to reach the top of Puig de Galatzó, enjoying the magnificent 360 degrees views.
The descent is along the northwest slope. Most of the descent is signposted.
Puigpunyent:
The name Puigpunyent, which means “pointed mountain” comes from the Puig del Galatzó peak. A village surrounded by valleys planted with orange and almond trees, with terraces where ancient olive trees grow. A town divided into two traditional quarters: the older Son Bru and the more modern La Vila, which sprang up around the church. Agriculture, livestock farming and forestry were the principal economic driving forces until the mid-20th century, traditionally associated with the activity of the large estates. As for the built heritage, look out for the Church of La Asunción de la Virgen María, constructed between the 17th and 19th centuries and home to a 14th century gothic image of Our Lady of Navigators, which came from the Cathedral, and the mannerist reredos of Our Lady of Loreta, which dates back to 1597.
