GiGass

We gather active and social people to explore known and unknown activities in the outdoors.

GiGass is a student association by and for students at NIH. We are, quite simply, the association for those who enjoy having fun, preferably over time.

We ski, snowboard, longboard, surf, climb, hunt mountain peaks, do bonfires, swim (all year), arrange cool events and excursions.
