Answer
How long does it take to hike up Castell d'Alaró from the village?
The ascent usually takes about one and a half to two hours, depending on pace. If you include time for the views, a snack, or a longer stop at the top, the full outing often becomes a four- to five-hour round trip. Starting early makes the walk feel calmer and gives you more time at the summit.
