Hiking

Over 100 miles of well-marked, maintained trails crisscross the Waterville Valley region. With seven 4,000 foot peaks located within the Valley, hikers of all abilites can find a satisfying trek. From the 4,315 ft. summit of Mount Osceola, the views are fabulous. The three peaks of Tripyramid also offer an outstanding challenge, also with views to match.

Those looking for a more relaxed hike will find our network of trails around the valley floor more to their liking.
