Take a quick look around Bansko ski resort and old town in summer including a ride up the Bansko gondola to the ski area base at Banderishka meadow. In summer, Bansko takes on a completely different vibe – much more relaxed with considerably fewer tourists. There’s great hillwalking and mountain biking in the area – much of which can be accessed via the Bansko gondola

Bansko in summer
Much of the new town (ie the commercial end of the village) is closed in summer – but the old town further down the hill remains vibrant. In the main, the resort is considerably quieter through the summer months with the exception of the Bansko Jazz Festival and the Digital Nomad convention in mid-summer.
