Langtauferer Ferner, Alpine glacier in Graun im Vinschgau, Italy.

The glacier extends across the northern side of Weißkugel peak, spanning elevations from 2410 meters to 3730 meters above sea level.

The glacier's surface area decreased from 4.24 square kilometers in 1997 to 3.93 square kilometers by 2006, indicating rapid ice loss.

The Glacier Educational Trail, established in 2007, guides visitors from Melager Alm to Weißkugelhütte, explaining glacial formations and changes.

The glacier's meltwater flows into the Karlinbach stream, which continues its journey into the Reschensee reservoir.

The glacier's accumulation area splits into two sections around the northern ridge of Weißkugel, with the larger portion lying east of the ridge.
