Żar is a very good viewing point. From the top of the mountain there is a panorama of the Żywiec Basin with Lake Żywiecki, the peaks of the Żywiec Beskids and the Silesian Beskids rising above it, and the Magurka Wilkowicka Group belonging to the Little Beskids, but located on the other side of the Soła River. In this group, almost all the peaks are visible - from Przyszop in the south, through Rogacz, Magurka Wilkowicka, Chrobacza Łąka to Bujakowski Groń and Zasolnioca in the north. Above Lake Czanieckie in the north, you can see the Silesian Foothills with its towns and chimneys of industrial plants and Bukowski Groń, and in the east, above the crown of the artificial reservoir, the peaks of Złota Góra, Kiczera, Cisowa Grapa and Potrójna. At the foot of the mountain there is the "Żar" Mountain Gliding School and paragliding is practiced
