The Coll de Sóller is a mountain pass between the mountain ranges of Alfabia and Teix on the Balearic island of Mallorca in the Serra de Tramuntana .

The pass with a transition height of 497 meters separates the Pla de Mallorca from the Sóller Valley. The old Ma-11A road leads over the pass to Sóller. The approximately 6.8 kilometers long ascent with a gradient of up to 17% runs over around 36 bends and numerous switchbacks.

In the past, before the Sóller tunnel was built, it was the main connection between Palma and Sóller . Today it is a popular mountain training and competition race track for category 3 cyclists. There is a car park at the top of the pass, which is the starting point for numerous hiking routes and the D'alt des Coll restaurant.
