View of the Upper Giglachsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

We start our hike from the Ursprungalm, a small alpine village, which is picturesquely situated at the foot of the Steirische Kalkspitze in a green basin. After about an hour we reach the Giglach Lakes. The basin framed by impressive peaks serves as a fantastic photo motif.

Ignaz-Mattis Hut at Giglachsee

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Ignaz Mattis Hut is located in a secluded location high up in the Schladminger Tauern. Directly below the hut are the Giglach lakes in a barren high mountain valley - Alpine Panorama Deluxe. Around 60 mountaineers can stay overnight in the rustic hut. The hut is a perfect base for many summit tours in the Schladminger Tauern and is also a good stopover on a hut tour lasting several days.

All further information and booking at alpenverein.at/ignazmattishuette.

Lakes Giglach

Highlight • Lake

The Giglachseen, consisting of the upper and lower Giglachsee, are a popular hiking destination in the heart of the western Schladminger Tauern. You can circle both on a nice path.

Giglachsee Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Giglachseehütte is, as the name suggests, right next to the idyllic Giglachsee and at the foot of the Styrian Kalkspitze (2,459 m) in the Schladminger Tauern. The hut can be reached from several starting points, and all of these routes are ideal for a hiking excursion.
