Reading Part 4 - SKIING HOLIDAY CENTRES

2 – Mount Brock Centre is family-friendly with lots of sporting activities for children, but there isn't much to interest advanced skiers. Although there's seldom a lack of snow on Mount Brock, it can be cloudy so that the scenery is hidden. Access is by road.
