Schlatenkees glacier, Alpine glacier in Matrei in Osttirol and Prägraten am Großvenediger, Austria.
The Schlatenkees glacier extends over 9 square kilometers in the Venediger Group, making it the largest valley glacier in East Tyrol.
The glacier reached its maximum extent in 1850, with its tongue at 1720 meters altitude and stretching far into the Gschlöss valley.
The National Park Hohe Tauern incorporates the Schlatenkees glacier as a natural monument, representing the regional alpine heritage of East Tyrol.
The glacier trail starts at Matreier Tauernhaus and covers 9.4 kilometers with an elevation change of 680 meters, requiring approximately five hours.
Between 2014 and 2017, the glacier front diminished by 180 meters, resulting in the disappearance of its prominent glacier gate.
