Laid out as a model town that looks like a country club, Waterville Valley is in fact officially a New Hampshire town (map), though most of its buildings are hotels, ski dorms, restaurants and condominiums for vacationers who come here to ski in winter or golf, hike and bike in summer.

The settlement is separate from, but close to, Waterville Valley Ski Area, which is on 500 acres of the 4004-foot-high (1220-meter) Mount Tecumseh within the White Mountains National Forest.

Snowmaking on Tecumseh is 100% of the trails.

There are 60 ski trails (8 novice, 38 intermediate, 13 advanced, of which 5 are gladed trails, and 6 mogul fields) served by 11 lifts along a vertical drop of 2020 feet (616 meters).

Centerpiece to the town of Waterville Valley is the Town Square complex of buildings, holding the Town Square Condominiums, shops, restaurants and other services.
