Recommendation for the Alps in summer
So I've been reading topics about Alps all day...but still have a need to ask for advice.
I want to experience a beautifull idylic scenery view of the Alps in 3-4 days in July/August.
No tent, NO snow, no more than 15-20km light hiking. just green fields flowers, streams and forest around. WITH an awesome wide overview of the mountains around. Aiming for sunny weather...
(Something like Vengen, Swiss)
But I will avoid Switzerland since it is very expensive and I'm on a very low budget.
I could come from Italy, France or Germany...
Please consider that I will be backpacking, using trains/buses.
What location would you recommend?

Amazing...Thank you very much bobthenavigator! 
Lotz of spectacular scenery...I'm exploring it right now...
Though this one just might be the one, I would love to hear a few more suggestions to consider as an option.
Thanks!

Indeed scenery around Val Gardena is amazing and it's all relatively close...
Selva would be the absolute winner for me.
I think I will be coming from Venice.
According to http://www.rome2rio.com/s/Val-Gardena/Venice
Venice - Verona - Ponte Gardena/Waidbruck - by trains ~45e
Ponte Gardena/Waidbruck - Val Gardena - by taxi ~25e
But I'm searching for the cheapest acommodation options for say July 11 to 15th (4 nights), and,
at val-gardena.net the prices go insanely high...
30e is what I considered to be the absolute maximum for a nightsleep anywhere I'll be going. Is that possible to find in Selva or somewhere nearby?
Or should I better search for a place where making a fire is allowed and take a sleep on my sleeping pad with all my clothes on and my backpack as a pillow?
