Tourism forms the backbone of the local economy, with a wide range of chalets, hotels and holiday flats catering to families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The surrounding area also features themed walking trails, waterfalls and several mountain refuges. Neustift enjoys a typical alpine climate, with snowy winters ideal for winter sports and mild summers well suited to hiking, mountain biking and climbing. The village remains a popular base for exploring the Stubai Alps throughout the year.
