The Gigalitz is a mountain, 3,001 m (AA), 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 (crossing to the Kasseler Hut) 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. (775 metres of height difference).

Summit cross

In July 2006 a summit cross was funded and erected by the "FND" (Freitag nach Dienst = "Friday After Work") pub regulars (Stammtischrunde).
