サポブラのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

The Mirador del Fomeni a Son Amer is a viewpoint in the Serra de Tramuntana, accessible from the Refugi de Son Amer mountain hut. The route is a moderate, approximately 6 km long hike with an elevation gain of approximately 300 m, taking approximately 2 to 2.5 hours and requiring a good level of fitness. The trail is mostly well-paved, but surefootedness is required, especially in the area of the viewpoint.

Mirador del Centenari del Forment - a bit off the hiking trail, but worth it.

Mirador del Centenari del Forment - a short detour from the hiking trail that is worth it.

The view is incredible. The sea on the horizon, a view of Lluc Monastery. Only to be enjoyed in good weather!

There's something resembling a path only in the lower section. Further up, a bit of scrambling is required, but this should be easily manageable for anyone venturing into this area. Technically, even older children could manage it. However, falls should definitely be avoided. It's significantly less frequented than the main route or the path via Font de s'Avenc. Archduke Ludwig Salvator already mentioned the pass in his work "The Balearic Islands" (c. 1884), referring to it as "Pas de n'Argentó." He described it as the best crossing on the western side of Puig de Massanella, a claim likely based on its being the only one accessible to the average hiker. The name "Argentó" could derive from the Old Catalan word "argan," meaning "rocky terrain."

Up is better than down! Challenging but incredibly cool. You should know what you're doing, otherwise it's fun and dangerous.

The dry stone walls, known in Catalan as "marges," consist simply of stones stacked on top of each other, without mortar or binding agents. They crisscross the island for miles. They are used as terraces on steep slopes, as field boundaries, to direct water in the Serra, or simply to remove stones from the ground. They often last for centuries; the oldest probably date back to the Moorish period (from the 10th century onwards), and many from the 17th to 19th centuries. The often-used term "pedra en sce" describes the construction method, which involves stacking stones without binding agents. There are now renewed training projects, for example, from the "Escola de Margers," to preserve the craft. An experienced Marger can tell who built it by looking at the wall itself – each has its own style, almost like a signature.

Be careful, there are goats here that will attack you while you are resting and are not afraid to touch you.
