The "Bergkrone" was out and about with Gottfried Bistumer, Austria's oldest skier! The hundred-year-old has witnessed the entire development of the ski resort in Austria and reveals what keeps him so fit. 

Austria's ski emperor and Olympic champion Franz Klammer answered Conny Bischofberger's question in the Krone interview on his 70th birthday as to whether sport is also associated with the hope of living longer: "Gottfried Bistumer, a Carinthian veteran, is now 100 and goes skiing every day. If I stay as fit as he is, I'll happily live to be 110." And I thought to myself: "I want to get to know Gottfried!" Thought, done.
