The Stampflkees is a glacier in the Zillertal Alps in Tyrol . With an area of ​​around 1.5 km², it is the second largest glacier in the Tux main ridge after the Tuxer Ferner .

The Stampflkees flows south on the southeast flank of the Tuxer Kamm. The nutrient area is framed by the Hoher Wand ( 3289  m above sea level ), Sagwandspitze ( 3227  m above sea level ) and Schrammacher ( 3410  m above sea level ). In the east, the narrow Schrammach ridge separates the glacier from the much smaller Oberschrammachkees. It drains over the Zamser Bach and Zemmbach to the Ziller .

Since the end of the Little Ice Age around 1850, the Stampflkees, like many other Alpine glaciers, has retreated a long way . The ice-free foreland of the glacier has very high lateral moraines , the western one is up to 65 m high. The terminal moraine at around 2250  m marks the last high point of the glacier around 1850. The area between 2530  m and 2700  m is occupied by the moraine of the advance around 1920.
