In 2012 a new mass balance monitoring program was started on Venedigerkees within the core zone of the Hohe Tauern National Park. Winter, summer and annual mass balances are determined for the hydrological years by using the direct glaciological method with ablation stakes, snow pits, automatic cameras and snow depth soundings. The measurements, instrumentation and results of the measured years are shown.
