The Jamtalferner is a glacier in Austria . It is located at the end of the Jamtal in the Silvretta . In 2008 the glacier had an area of 3.31 km² and was at heights between 3160 and 2430 m. Since 1988/1989, the mass balance of the Jamtalferner has been measured annually on behalf of the Hydrographic Service of the Water Management Department of the Tyrolean Provincial Government. The change in length of the Jamtalferner has been recorded by the glacier measurement service of the Austrian Alpine Association for a long time .
The border with Switzerland runs along the nutrient areas of the glacier on the Jamjoch.
The natural outflow of the glacier is the Jambach, which flows into the Inn via Trisanna and Sanna . However, the brook is caught and directed across the European watershed into the Kops reservoir , whereby the majority of the runoff is withdrawn from the catchment area of the Danube and fed to that of the Rhine .
