The week is built around six guided stages from Sunday to Friday, with a prologue on the Saturday afternoon after you arrive. Each day you pick one of three groups, each led by its own guide — Markus, Felix and Ronny — and you are free to move between them as the week goes on. The operator rates this as a Level C trip, so the groups cover a range of paces rather than one hard tempo.

The route list is long and specific: Coll de Puig Major (880 m), Coll de Sóller (496 m), Coll dels Reis (728 m), Coll d'Honor (550 m), Coll de Sa Bataia (579 m), the dead-end climb to Cap de Formentor (122 m), Coll de Tofla (260 m), the dead end up Puig de Randa (542 m), Can Bleda (224 m), Coll d'en Claret (505 m), Coll de Femenia (515 m), Es Grau on the Ma-10 (335 m), Coll de sa Gramola (362 m), Port d'es Canonge (320 m), Galilea (406 m), Es Grau (468 m), Coll de n'Esteve (238 m), the dead end to Puig de Sant Salvador (509 m), Coll des Vent (389 m), Coll de sa Bastida (307 m), Can Costa (426 m), the dead end to Ermita de Bonany (317 m), Valldemossa (408 m) and the dead end to Port de Valldemossa (400 m). You do not ride all of them; the stage variants decide which.

A typical day's riding is described in the operator's own stage reports: one stage is titled around the irony of a perfect cycling day, another covers goats on treadmills and pace-setting animals, another is a loop through the Tramuntana. The stage names give a fair picture — long days in the mountains with a lot of climbing, and a Friday described as time-pressure management while hammering through the hills.

The base is a three-star hotel in Inca, one hotel for the whole week, with half board. The operator's stated reason for Inca is practical: it is central, so routes can go in all directions, and the town has real Mallorcan restaurants rather than resort dining. The group on this departure was 11 participants across three groups.

Bike hire can be arranged through the operator's partner Bikefriends Schon — for example a Rose Reveal Disc at €196 for seven days — delivered to and collected from the hotel. Airport transfers from Palma are included on arrival up to about 11:00, with the shuttle leaving for Inca at 11:30.
