Gaicht Pass (el. 1093 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Alps in Tyrol in Austria. It connects the valley of the Lech near Weißenbach an der Lech with the Tannheim valley near Nesselwängle. It is crossed by federal highway B 199, which runs along the Haldensee and over the Oberjoch Pass in Germany. This pass was important in the Middle Ages as a commercial route. The bridge built in 1912 was destroyed by the retreating German army in 1945. It was replaced in 1979.
