Rancho Ses Roques

Rancho Ses Roques takes you through Mallorca's Tramuntana foothills on horseback, following ancient stone paths that locals have used for centuries. You'll ride well-trained horses through traditional fincas and up mountain trails near Valldemossa, with routes designed for every skill level from complete beginners to experienced riders. The two-hour rides include panoramic viewpoints where you can see across the island's northern coastline.

The experience feels authentically Mallorcan rather than touristy. Your guide leads small groups along narrow trails bordered by centuries-old stone walls, through olive groves and past working farms where you might spot local farmers tending their land. The horses are calm and responsive, making even nervous beginners feel secure as you climb gentle slopes toward mountain vistas. The pace stays relaxed, with plenty of stops for photos and to soak in the scenery.

Most riding centers on the island feel commercial, but this one maintains a genuine finca atmosphere. Sunset rides cost around 65 EUR per person, offering the best value, cooler temperatures and pleasing light, though morning rides at 45 EUR work well too if you want fewer crowds. We recommend skipping the one-hour option, as it barely gets you into the mountains where the main attractions lie. Morning rides start at 45 EUR and sunset rides at 65 EUR per person.
