Hiking Group

The Fomento’s Walking Group is headed up by expert guides who know all the “hidden” routes and walks so that you can get to know every corner of this beautiful island. All walks are conducted in respect of the natural environment and the rules of the local countryside.

Weekly walks are organised every Thursday and Sunday (weather permitting).

To go on one of these walks is one of the best ways to get to know the island. On foot you can access places that are simply not possible via car/bicycle or horseback. The walking group takes great pleasure in seeing its members discover completely new areas that they didn’t even know existed.

It’s Easy to Walk with Us:

    ­

  • Look at the walks programme and pick out a walk which appeals to you.
  • Call the Fomento the same week to reserve your place in the group.
  • Pay in cash or via bank transfer.
  • Discover Mallorca’s countryside with our expert guides.

Equipment required for any good walker:

  • Rucksack
  • Good, comfortable walking shoes/hiking boots.
  • Good socks.
  • Fleece lined jacket /waistcoat/gloves/scarf.
  • Waterproof jacket/shower cape.
  • Small first aid box with plasters/bandages/aspirin etc…
  • Walking stick.
  • Water bottle and cup (preferably in metal).
  • Food (a picnic which will keep you going throughout the day). Please be advised that we can’t cook on fires in the forest.
  • Plastic bags to pick up rubbish that we might find on the way and to store your own rubbish to take home and dispose of responsibly.
  • Mobile telephone with emergency numbers (just in case).

The Fomento’s Guides would like to remind any walkers that they must bring this equipment as a minimum requirement. Attention to footwear is particularly important and if the guides see that a person has inadequate equipment for the walk, they will not be able to join the group.
