A month in the Alps 25-Oct-2018 At 11:30:10 PM hamish_b

So the girlfriend and I are heading to the Alps for a month or so sometime from May to July next year. Looking for suggested 'base camp' locations as its painful moving location every second day.
Looking for places with a mix of crag climbing, alpine climbing, via ferrata, mountain biking and hut to hut walks so there are plenty of 'rest day' activities. German speaking an advantage as my german is better than my french or Italian. I've been to the dolomites and Chamonix before, both of which are options. Switzerland is amazing but expensive. Anyone got any suggestions? Perhaps somewhere in Austria?
Looking to get an apartment or chalet for the time there rather than camping or doing the van thing. Cragging and alpine routes, but not really mountaineering.
