Nighttime Wrong Turn at Puig Major: Why a Harmless Walk Can Quickly Turn Dangerous

Answer

Is it safe to hike in the Serra de Tramuntana after dark?

Night hikes in Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana can become risky very quickly because paths are narrow, uneven, and easy to lose in low light. Even familiar routes can feel confusing once visibility drops, especially if the weather changes or you miss a turn. If you do walk late, plan to finish well before dark and carry proper lighting and navigation backup.
