Answer

How serious is fog in the Serra de Tramuntana?

Fog in the Serra de Tramuntana can be more than just inconvenient, because it may reduce visibility to only a few metres. That makes even familiar paths harder to read and increases the risk of getting lost or taking a wrong turn. If visibility drops sharply, it is often wiser to wait, retreat, or change plans.
