Giglachseen Lakes Hiking Area

Nestled high in the Schladminger Tauern mountains, the Giglachseen are two stunning alpine lakes surrounded by majestic peaks. The area is a popular destination for challenging day hikes and is part of longer multi-day hut-to-hut tours. Hikers can enjoy breathtaking panoramas, crystal-clear waters, and pristine alpine flora. Access typically involves a drive to a trailhead (e.g., from Rohrmoos) followed by a significant ascent. Best visited from June to early October when trails are snow-free. Difficulty: Moderate to challenging.
