Brr... breathtaking fun!

No doubt about it, one of the best ways to experience Reading & Berks County is outside - even in the winter. Beautiful rolling hills, valleys, and waterways set the stage for outstanding year-round adventures like biking, and hiking. When it snows, head to our parks to cross-country ski and snowshoe, or to nearby resorts for downhill skiing, snowboarding, and snow-tubing fun. Following a day of outdoor fun, there's no better place to warm-up and share your adventure stories than our eateries, pubs, and wine bars. Colder weather means cooler experiences in Berks County.
