She will arrive at the main Basel railway station off Centralbahnstrasse. You could meet her under the big arrivals/departures board.

Definitely go by train to Colmar, it is only a one hour trip!

Have a great time, Colmar is extremely pretty.

There is a bus from the airport to the Basel SBB station that takes 20 minutes and costs 3.80 Swiss francs.

Enjoy Colmar, but try and spend a little time in Basel! It has a pretty old town, interesting cathedral, some very nice restaurants and cafes, tiny little streets to explore.
