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.

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.

Duisitzkar Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Duisitzkarsee in the same named Kar in the Obertal is probably one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the Schladminger Tauern and relatively easy to reach.
