Zwardoń in the Żywiec Beskid is known primarily for recreational values. Its “career" as a tourist resort began in the 1930s, when skiers from all over Poland took a fancy for the slopes of the surrounding mountains. And today, the village is famous for its excellent skiing conditions, and it is also worthwhile to see remnants of the old buildings, including the nineteenth-century railway station, and the interwar hostel "Dworzec Beskidzki" and guest house "Szwajcaria".
