Gigalitz


The Gigalitz is a mountain,, on the Floitenkamm ridge of the Zillertal Alps between the bottoms of Floitengrund and Stillupgrund. It is the Hausberg of the Greizer Hut.

Ascent

From the Greizer Hut the path runs up to the col of Lapenscharte to a signed fork at a height of about 2,500 m. It continues on an unmarked path to the unprominent southwestern arête and then on grassy schrofen to the two summits. On the north top there is a metal orientation rose. The journey time from the Greizer Hut is about 2.5 hours..

Summit cross

In July 2006 a summit cross was funded and erected by the "FND" pub regulars.

Climbing tour

One of several climbing tours, with 7 rope lengths and UIAA grade 4+/5-, is laid out on the neighbouring Gigalitzturm rock tower. The start of this climb is on the Lapenscharte col.
