Tren Soller also known as Ferrocarril de Sóller is an interurban railway with wooden trains running between the towns of Sóller and Palma in Mallorca with various stops at smaller towns inbetween. Trn Soller is one of the loved attractions in Mallorca. This train journey takes tourists through stunning scenic views, viaducts, bridges, and 13 tunnels.
Offering view to real Mallorca, Tren Soller leaves from central Palma, just off the Plaza de Espana, making stop at a vantage point for travellers to take the pictures and admire the beautiful views. Not all trains offer such opportunities. You need to refer to the train timetable available at http://trendesoller.com/en/timetable/ to check the timings of these trains.
The Soller railway also stands out for the special, attractive route it runs along, overcoming the natural barrier of the Sierra de Alfàbia mountain range which is 2.8 km wide and 496 metres high. To do so, in just seven kilometres, the railway rises up 199 metres with an inclination of 23 millimetres, runs through 13 longitudinal tunnels ranging in length from 33 to 2,876 metres, crosses over several bridges, the “cinc-ponts” viaduct which has five arches with spans 8 metres high and a great many bends, some with radii below 190 metres.
