Gigalitz

Located in the Zillertal Alps, Gigalitz rises to 3,001 meters above sea level between the valleys of Floitengrund and Stillupgrund on the Floitenkamm ridge.

Eugen Guido Lammer completed the first documented ascent of Gigalitz in 1884, establishing this peak as a destination for mountain exploration in Austria.

The summit features a metal orientation rose and a cross installed in 2006 by local pub regulars who named their group FND, meaning Friday After Work.

The normal route starts at Greizer Hut and requires 2.5 hours of climbing through Lapenscharte col, covering 775 meters of elevation gain to reach the top.

The mountain includes the Gigalitzturm climbing route, offering seven rope lengths of technical climbing along a 300-meter vertical ascent on the southeastern ridge.
