Szyndzielnia
Bielsko-Biała
Napisać, że Szyndzielnia chwali się jedną z trzech kolei gondolowych w polskich ośrodkach narciarskich, to bardzo mało. Szyndzielnia, wysoka na 1028 metrów n.p.m., lecz objęta granicami Bielska-Białej, ma gęsto zapisaną kartę w kronikach turystyki pieszej i narciarskiej Beskidu Śląskiego. A pierwsze daty pochodzą z końca XIX wieku. Mamy więc tutaj rzeczywiście do czynienia z tradycją i nowoczesnością.
