Bielsko-Biała “Dębowiec” Recreation and Ski Centre

The Bielsko-Biała “Dębowiec” Recreation and Ski Centre is a ski complex in Kamienica, a district of Bielsko-Biała, on a slope in the Silesian Beskids. It has operated since 18 January 2013, and its core is a four-person chairlift to the clearing below Dębowiec.

The lift and the slope

The cable car is a monocable circulating lift with fixed-grip chairs, made by TATRALIFT in 2012. The lower station is at 420 m above sea level and the upper at 525.5 m, and the route up the slope is 610 metres long with a height difference of 105.5 metres. The lift has 79 chairs and carries up to 2,400 people an hour. In winter it is used by skiers and snowboarders, and in summer by walkers.

What else is in the centre

Next to the lower station is a small 84-metre drag lift for children. The centre also has a snow park with boxes and rails, a rope park, an outdoor gym, a playground with climbing walls, an educational trail, a games area and a car park for 110 cars. The owner is the city of Bielsko-Biała, and the operator is the company ZIAD Bielsko-Biała SA.
