The Langtaler Ferner is a glacier in the Ötztal Alps in Tyrol with an area of 2.6 km² (as of 2006).
The Langtaler Ferner is a typical valley glacier and flows from the Hochwilde ( 3480 m above sea level ) on the main Alpine ridge around five kilometers north into the Langtal . The Schwärzenenkamm in the west separates it from the Gurgler Ferner , to the northeast the Seelenferner extends below the Hinteres Seelenkogel .
Like most glaciers in the Alps, the Langtaler Ferner is affected by glacier melt . From 2009 to 2010 there was a decrease of 21.7 meters, from 2010 to 2011 by 3 meters, and from 2011 to 2012 by 7.3 meters. Since the last high level of the glaciers around 1850, the Ferner has retreated by around 1.5 km.
From the 18th to the early 20th century, Gurgler Ferner often advanced so far that he shut off the Langtal and dammed the outflow of the Langtaler Ferners into a lake, the Gurgler Eissee . At times the lake reached back to the tongue of the Langtaler Ferners, which calved into it .
