Obermeyer marks his 100th birthday on Monday friends and family say there’s really no secret to his longevity — he is a testament to the power of positive thinking and being mindful of one’s health “Happy people are healthy people and they live longer,” said longtime Aspen resident John McBride who was 9 years old on a ski trip to Aspen when he first met Klaus decades ago He moved to Aspen in 1947 to teach skiing at the invitation of Friedl Pfeifer He taught at Aspen Mountain for 12 years before he dedicated his time to his skiwear manufacturing firm Sport Obermeyer Klaus has the most recognizable face in Aspen and it’s a face that is always smiling He’s as pleasant to strangers as to longtime friends doesn’t just put on a good face for the public said his dad has been a big inspiration in his life he’s had breakfast with his dad whenever possible Even when he stayed out a little too late as a rambunctious younger man he would rouse himself out of bed to spend time with his dad His career as a filmmaker requires him to split time between Los Angeles and Aspen but he still has breakfast with his dad whenever he is in town and speaks with him every night He believes the good nature of Klaus rubs off on those around him He admires that his dad “has so much willpower and he uses it well.” “He works his butt off at staying in shape plans to share 10 lessons that his dad has taught him at a birthday party for Klaus on Monday taking care of yourself and connecting with nature “Our greatest freedom is how we look at things We can choose to look at something positively or negatively.” People often tend to get jaded as they age He has stressed the importance of optimism There’s no obsessing on the “good old days” for Klaus “He would say Aspen has never been better,” Wally said He also doesn’t let adversity drag him down Wally said one of Klaus’ guiding principles is to attack a challenge Another lesson is “do what you love.” Klaus “absolutely loves skiing,” Wally said Klaus told The Aspen Times a few years ago that he started skiing when he was 3 years old He’s looking forward to his 103rd birthday so he can say he has spent a century on skis Klaus was inspired to start his company to make clothing and gear that would allow other people to share the joy of the outdoors Humor has always been and remains a big part of Klaus’ life “His inventory of jokes is really good,” Wally said other than to be polite by drinking half a glass of wine on Thanksgiving His only indulgence is whipped cream on his daily morning coffee and we need to take care of it,” is Klaus’ motto He also studied the martial art of Aikido from Tom Crum an acclaimed expert in conflict resolution Crum said Klaus is always “fascinated to learn.” That’s what’s giving (him) longevity and health.” While Crum and Klaus don’t work on the physical side of Aikido anymore they developed a deep friendship and regularly meet to talk about life “I would say Klaus is my teacher as much as he’s a student of mine,” Crum said Hand-in-hand with staying active is Klaus’ refusal to complain about his health he credits his body for telling him he needs to tweak something whether it is while skiing or on his midvalley ranch Wally recounted how Klaus picked apples from his trees one day then sat down on a chair on his open porch for a nap with the bucket of apples in his lap Klaus awakened when a foraging deer started eating one of the apples Some of the lessons that Wally has learned from Klaus are bedrocks of his business philosophy Klaus looks for “win-win situations” with the manufacturers that make and retailers that sell Sport Obermeyer clothing Klaus reminds his colleagues at the business “Your reputation is your working capital,” Wally said and Wally cited their dad’s ordeal in Germany with sparking his eternal optimism “He came from such hardship and lived through such horror in Nazi Germany,” Klaus Jr Klaus was an aeronautical engineer working at an airplane factory in Munich his boss warned him before he checked in one morning that Gestapo agents were inquiring about him It isn’t widely known that Klaus is partially Jewish The Gestapo learned of his heritage and presumably were preparing to take him to a concentration camp “My dad tried to escape by skiing into Switzerland,” Wally said He attempted to cross the guarded border at night but was spotted and ordered to halt Klaus turned and was skiing on the German side when he was shot in the back He skied off a cliff and shattered a femur He eluded capture and was able to make his way to the nearest village where nuns and a sympathetic doctor treated and shielded him “The war ended while he was still in the hospital in traction,” Wally said He’s often told the story of how he had to make a parka for sale because his ski school students in Aspen would get too cold to stay on the slopes He’s obviously worked with numerous employees over the years and is held in high regard by his team Katie Wabiszewski is a longtime worker in the customer service department at Sport Obermeyer who also became a close friend of Klaus’ and to be successful you have to be a great leader,” she said Employees are allowed the freedom to create their own success Sport Obermeyer’s staff has the closeness of family Wabiszewski goes to lunch frequently with Klaus and they used to regularly play tennis they would practice to sharpen various skills — and simply to have fun “We wouldn’t play tennis to play competitively,” she said “We would just play until we would laugh ourselves to death.” She’s always enjoyed Klaus’ sense of humor He can make a joke out of any word or phrase that is uttered He’s able to come up with little poems on the spot “He just kind of seeks out the good in things,” she said Klaus has reached legendary status on the ski slopes Wabiszewski joked that Klaus is a solo skier “Mostly he was too fast for anybody to keep up,” she said

participate in the World of Hyatt program Most of those properties are now bookable with Hyatt – with both cash and points – although a few still aren’t bookable with points. I’d filed this away for future reference, but when updating this post about earning 500 bonus points per night at new (and new-to-Hyatt) properties I took a closer look at the Lindner portfolio and got excited at what I found One of the positive features of these properties is that a significant number of them are category 1 or 2 which means they can be booked for as few as 3,500 or 6,500 points respectively with several being of interest for sports and/or racing enthusiasts Many of the properties also have standard and premium suites available which can be booked with points and Direct link to property The first one that caught my eye was the Lindner Hotel Nürburgring Motorsport there are three Lindner properties at or near the Nürburgring but this one is right opposite the race track that made me particularly excited until I realized that there’s no longer a German Grand Prix (it used to be held at the Nürburgring) it’s somewhere that I’d still love to visit because you can drive your own car (or a rental car) around the 12.9 mile long Nürburgring The bigger question is how daring I’d want to be driving that fast in a rental car as that kind of activity likely wouldn’t be covered under credit card insurance The Nürburgring is also where the Rock am Ring festival is held each year so if they open award availability for that it would be a comfortable place to stay for the weekend if you don’t want to camp Direct link to property Another of the properties near the Nürburgring is the Lindner Hotel Nürburgring Ferienpark While not quite as close as the property above The reason this one stands out is because every single “room” is actually a 3 or 4 bedroom villa has two double bedrooms and one single bedroom Something crazy about this property is the pricing It’s only a category 3 property which means it costs 9,000 12,000 or 15,000 points per night depending on if it’s at off-peak That itself seems like it’d be incredible value considering you’re getting a 3 bedroom villa but what’s even more crazy is that booking with points doesn’t necessarily represent good value That’s because paid rates can be incredibly cheap considering the size of the property you’re getting I found rates as low as EUR130 (~$142) per night although it might be that you can book these villas for even less than that because those dates were at standard award pricing (i.e This base 3 bedroom villa sleeps five people so if a group of five people stayed there it works out to be only $28.40 per person per night Direct link to property This Lindner hotel is a category 1 property and so costs 3,500 5,000 or 6,500 points per night depending on if it’s at off-peak The description on the website says it’s in the historic center of Prague; when checking its location on Google Maps it looks like it’s on the western edge of the center of Prague it’s only a 10-15 minute walk to both Prague Castle and Petřín Tower while it’s a 30 minute walk to Old Town Square The property itself looks cute and they have standard suites bookable with points standard suites can be booked from as few as 6,500 points per night during off-peak dates Cash rates for standard rooms (not suites) seem to be in the $100-$125 range so you should always get a solid 2cpp of value on award stays Direct link to property This hotel is on the western side of Berlin within walking distance of the Berlin Zoo and Tiergarten Park As with many other Lindner hotels in Germany this one is a category 1 property in the World of Hyatt program It has both standard and premium suites available so with it being category 1 premium suites can be booked for as few as 7,000 points per night What you get for that price is a little unclear though; the premium suite name is ‘1 Bedroom Suite with Balcony’ but the description states that the suite (my bolding) “is divided into two elegant bedrooms with a bathroom and a guest toilet.” That premium suite normally costs $300+ per night 10,000 or 13,000 points per night can be good value Direct link to property The Lindner Hotel Leverkusen BayArena is right next to BayArena – the stadium where Bayer Leverkusen play in the German Bundesliga What’s surprising considering its location is that it’s a category 1 property and has both standard rooms and standard suites bookable with points What’s even more surprising is that on many matchday weekends awards are at standard pricing the 2023/24 Bundesliga season kicks off on August 18 and Bayer Leverkusen are playing at home against RB Leipzig who finished third last season You can book a stay that weekend at the Lindner Hotel Leverkusen BayArena for only 5,000 points per night for a standard room or 8,000 points per night for a 1 bedroom standard suite cash rates are only $100 for a standard room and $130 for a standard suite so the cents per point value isn’t as good as you might expect it to be none of the bedrooms look into the stadium Direct link to property Last season Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt finished level on points Eintracht Frankfurt is another club with a Lindner Hotel right next to its stadium As with the property next to Bayer Leverkusen’s ground the one next to Eintracht Frankfurt’s Sportpark stadium is a category 1 hotel Eintracht Frankfurt are playing at home against Wolfsburg on February 24; award nights are 5,000 points but cash rates are only ~$87 per night Direct link to property Let’s step away from the city and out into nature The Lindner Hotel Oberstaufen Parkhotel is a category 3 property and is described in the following way on their website: wide valleys and picturesque lakes with an Alpine backdrop – for relaxation and taking strength from nature there is no place better than the Allgäu region is known among holidaymakers and locals for its Schroth detoxification therapies Our hotel and spa in the spa town combines the traditional charm of the area with a modern lifestyle Modern design and rustic Allgäu cosiness have been skilfully combined here with a great deal of attention to detail At the Lindner Hotel Oberstaufen Parkhotel you can experience the Allgäu as an original source of energy standard suites and premium suites all bookable with points Standard suites are one bedroom suites with a mountain view and balcony while premium suites are two bedroom suites with a mountain view and balcony you should compare cash rates to points prices because depending on your dates this hotel doesn’t always represent great value when booked with points Direct link to property the Lindner Hotel Frankfurt Main Plaza could be a good option so standard rooms range from 6,500-9,000 points per night standard suites from 11,500-14,500 points per night and premium suites from 13,000-19,000 points per night I’ve never spent any time in Frankfurt and so I don’t know the city but it looks like it’s in a great location for exploring the city Standard suites are one bedroom suites 990-1,076 sq ft in size while premium suites are two bedroom suites with a skyline view and are almost 1,200 sq ft so all points options can provide great value but be sure to check for your particular dates Direct link to property The majority of Lindner hotels are in Germany One such example is the Lindner Hotel Antwerp in Belgium This property is right next to Central Station and is a short walk to the Antwerp Zoo Plopsa Station theme park and only a 20-30 minute walk downtown This is another category 1 property and when picking dates for a random two night stay it turned out to be off-peak standard suites and premium suites were 3,500 That 500 points difference between standard and premium suites is minimal and it looks like the differences between the two types of suites at this property are fairly minimal too but standard suites are actually a little larger (850-1,120 sq ft for standard suites versus 700-1,065 sq ft for premium suites) Both types of suites can take four people thanks to a sleeper sofa in the living room – something that’s not very common for Europe Both types of suite also feature a kitchenette which can be particularly useful if traveling as a family Have you stayed at any Lindner hotels before or do you have your eye on a different property to those listed here Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed. fully functional and comfortable (especially the bedding) Sauna and small pool (that I didn’t have a chance to try) Great local restaurants in this area (that are CHEAP/locals places) but some of the properties look quite interesting mentioned in recent Frequent Miler post  caught my eye: Lindner Hotel Prague […] Stayed last week in Lindner Am Belvedere in Vienna Andaz on the same street is 15,000p for a basic room I wouldn’t say it was 3x times worse than Andaz A/C was there and worked well although a bit noisy For the Wellness Suite is the sofa bed in another room than the bedroom There is a sofa but I doubt it can be extended into a bed Do you think the room will not feel crowded with a rollaway bed in the living room all the space is in the bedroom which is one big open space with the jacuzzi and sauna bathroom Can’t recall if a rollaway bed would fit into a hallway Maybe you can reach out to a hotel and ask How was the location for visiting the touristy areas I am a first time visitor to the city and trying to decide if the location is good I’m still wondering exactly what the standards are for Lindner hotels As Stvr points out if none of the places have air conditioning it could be pretty brutal to stay there in the Summer A press release of some sort with standard amenities and synopsis for the chain would be very welcome I’ve booked for next June in Vienna and Prague and both list air conditioning as an amenity please accept my sincere thanks for letting me know That means that it’s likely that other properties in the chain should have ac as well I guess I was a little vague about the rest though I know what to expect from a Courtyard or a Park Hyatt or a n Embassy Suites Outside of geography I really have no idea what to expect from a Lindner hotel (except air conditioning thanks to you) and was just hoping that the chain’s homepage would tell some more on what they’re about and what we can expect I think these hotels don’t have air conditioning which would be a dealbreaker for many The Lindners that are part of WoH all have AC I’m active on a German FF forum and some people from there are very familiar with Lindner’s portfolio They’re pointed out that Lindners without AC in every room will only join WoH after they’re been brought up to the standard It really piques some interest in a Germany-based trip Booked Prague Castle for 3500 each for 4 nights and used an SUA for next May you can use confirmed suite upgrades there I’m staying at the Lindner Cologne Am Dom in September it seemed to be pretty nice and centrally located I’ll also be in Frankfurt and am considering the Lindner Frankfurt Main Plaza Its actually off-peak for all my nights and I’d be staying during the other promo so it would be a net cost of 6,000 pts/night But I’m planning to do several day trips by train so I’d like to be a little closer to the Hauptbahnhof I was hoping sportspark would have availability on nights of the Euro 2024 games in Frankfurt although the Hyatt Place at the airport (one S-bahn stop away) does have cheap points rooms Timely post – I just booked the Prague Castle property yesterday and couldn’t believe it was only 3500 v I wonder if these properties will go up several categories once they are more assimilated into Hyatt I wouldn’t be surprised to see award pricing go up within a year like it did for many of their new all-inclusive properties last year a lot of the award pricing is in line with cash pricing so I could just as easily see it staying the same I’d say the award pricing staying the same (for the most part) is the more likely scenario If you like F1 you’d love MotoGP and the German GP is held there Read more here… Our Resources Page has a collection of our most useful complete guides and posts Here are a few complete guides to get you started… but not the hassle of ski school and pricey equipment It’s easy: all you need is a simple sledge Some human skills are best learned young But the one that most Britons really lose out on is skiing For example: instead of flying me regularly to St Moritz and Kitzbühel when I was a toddler my own feckless parents insisted on piano lessons and Mablethorpe I always thought sledging was something done on an old fertiliser bag on a sloping field of slush I had never even heard of sledging at the swanky winter resorts of Europe But now I am on a Bavarian ski lift with Maddy rising up above the fir trees and the snow- white slopes watching those skiers carve lazy curves below Only hours earlier we were arriving at Munich airport; now we have stout wooden sledges in our hands rented for €6 a day from the Oberstaufen cable car station We are looking down as the steepness of the slope increases I notice that one tree has a scarlet padded bumper on its trunk Photograph: Philipp Guelland/Getty ImagesAt the cable car station on top we have further cause for concern The start is a belvedere of snow and ice perched in a scintillating panorama of sharp peaks the supposedly super-efficient Germans have left a dangerous gaping hole in the orange netting around the rim of this high-altitude shelf Maddy gets on her sledge and disappears over the edge “Use your feet to slow down,” he says with a grin Maddy on Bad Hindelang Photograph: Kevin Rushby/The GuardianIt is a truth grudgingly acknowledged that some skills are best learned young After 100 metres of screaming descent we come to a sharp right hand bend which Maddy There is a long magical swoop into the trees One of the strange effects of sledging at breakneck speed for extended distances Maddy overreaches herself and does a spectacular leap into a net somehow managing to get her foot stuck through it writhing like an angry orange bear caught in a snare I find the parental urge to rush to her assistance is not as powerful as the desire to throw snowballs There are several sledging slopes along Germany’s border with Austria (see Germany’s sledge areas There are hotels in the ski resorts of course but my choice was to hire a car and use a farmstay away from the ski crowd in the village of Böbing supermarket prices are lower than in the UK and was almost exclusively used by German families we could access several slopes with a 90-minute drive each morning (public transport in the area is also good) Snow here is not entirely dependable – our farm’s ski run had been good in October but was bare in March – so it’s worth checking with the tourist office of each resort before setting off Maddy on the cable car at Oberstaufen Photograph: Kevin Rushby/The GuardianOne morning we pitched up at Pfronten only to find the run closed for lack of snow We hurried over to nearby Bad Hindelang and had the best day of the trip: a fabulous steady 3km descent through forests with time to go back down several times but you need to arrive early to do it more than once for long walks back to the cable car after you descend – some children might not like that After two days we were experts and decided to tackle the sledgers’ ultimate challenge: the Zugspitze Germany’s highest mountain stands over the chic resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and was clearly popular with big queues for the cable car and funicular railway Behind the spectacular Zugspitze peak is a vast glacial bowl streaked by ski lifts and a central station where you can hire sledges (€6 a day; basic ski kit is €27) The sledges were not the traditional wooden items of other resorts but plastic saddles something like a child’s car booster seat “They are fast,” grinned the man renting them The Tal Weißes next to it – now that is fast.” The family slope was closed for no apparent reason – there’s always snow up here We sat at the top of the Tal Weißes and gazed in awe at the descent: a long lung-busting roller coaster of white-lipped insanity “Will to live?” I replied – and went for it Oberstaufen top.
