Quaint Town for 2 Weeks
My two daughters, 21 & 13, and I are planning a trip to Switzerland and Austria for the month of Feb. We are looking for 2 home bases where we can ski, see cultural things and have easy access to trains so we can do day trips. Any ideas? I think we really prefer a small town vs. a large city. Any and all ideas appreciated.

See http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34693967 - - there has been a lot of confusion here lately about how to tell if a post "took" or not - - and a certain amount of double posting (like this and your "other" thread, a near-duplicate only a few minutes earlier) - - you will likely want to "click on your own name" as you may get answers on both postings.
There are threads such as http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34679830 with recent discussions of skiing destinations in Austria, to name one. Note that the message header of <i>that</i> thread mentioned the <i><b>destination</b></i> in the message header of the question. That's an element of good etiquette that is in common practice here.
Best wishes,
Rex

As wliwl explains, I was bringing back up... (to the top)... this post, which you asked three weeks ago (and in duplicate), and I saw that you have just today asked a related (not entirely similar) question. If you click on your name, you will see answers to your various questions.
Your other question (today) makes it sound a little less clear as to whether you know why you want to go to the (not yet finalized) destinations you're targeting.

I am just at the "info overload" stage.
I know we want to spend several days in Garmisch and are flying out of Munich; that is all I am definitive about.Any insight into "the Austrian-German" experience (ie quaint small towns that have skiing nearby ) would be greatly appreciated.Sorry to be so vague. Too many hrs. on the computer....

You do know that Garmisch is in Germany, don't you? But I will admit it is a good base for cultural things. The skiing is nice for a couple of days too.
I use to stay in Scuol/Switzerland for my winter vacations. A mix of skiing, exploring quaint villages, touring castles, museums and relaxing in the great spa.
