Verkhny Ufaley is rich in mineral deposits (nickel and iron ores, marble, fire clay) and the economy of the town and the surrounding areas is heavily dependent on metallurgical factories, such as "UZMM" (Ufaley Metallurgical Machinery Works) and "Ufaleynickel". The latter, in particular, is the town's largest industrial enterprise, responsible for 75% of the total volume of the goods produced and much of the town's employment.

Transportation

There is a small airport in the town.

Lake Itkul

Lake Itkul, located at the altitude of 720 meters (2,360 ft) above sea level, is one of the notable natural wonders in Verkhny Ufaley. It is fed by springs, creeks, and small rivers, so its waters renew within a year and are fresh and clean. The lake is clear but has a brownish reflection. The lake and its vicinity have become a popular destination for Verkhny Ufaley's residents and visitors alike.

Sports

The bandy club Nikelshchik plays in the second highest division.[8] Their spectator numbers stand out. Whereas it's unusual in their division to reach 1 000, they usually have a couple of thousand.
