Międzybrodzie Bialskie hosts two alpine skiing and snowboarding centres. The larger centre is located on the Żar Mount at the border between Międzybrodzie Bialskie and Miedzybrodzie Żywieckie (www.pkl.pl/zar/home). Skiers and snowboarders can enjoy a 1300-metre long ski run – one of the longest in the Beskid Mountains, which runs along a track and rope way, covered with artificial snow, if necessary, and groomed. The second centre is located on the slopes of the Rogacz Mount about 1.5 km from the centre of Międzybrodzie Bialskie towards Żywiec.
Mount Żar is a popular tourist destination. It is located in the Little Beskid. The peak rises to 761 m. above sea leve over steep, wooded slopes dominating over Międzybrockie Lake. On the artificially flattened top there is a water reservoir, which is part of the pumped-storage hydroelectricity, which was put to use in 1979. The reservoir is 650 meters long and 250 meters long, with the maximum depth of 28 meters. Its volume is 2 310 000 cubic meters.
