Mountains, lakes, not too hot and no driving

Does this type of holiday exist. Please help.

Trying to plan a trip to make everyone happy. Kids are 11 and 9 and most holidays are AI resorts as they love swimming and making friends in the pool or on the beach etc.

DH only likes lakes and mountains. Anything nature based. Since having kids we did the Swiss Alps twice and that's it. We went to Lake Leucern and he absolutely loved it. However it's expensive and fancy somewhere new but same vibe. Easy trails and beautiful scenery.

Most places recommended in Europe involve driving and we both hate driving in general.

Can anyone suggest a base that ticks the boxes with easy hiking trails and possibly good public transport. Thanks!

Thank you again. I was feeling really down last night as everything I found was only really accessible with a car.

Over the moon now, there are some really good options!! For this year and next too.

Buses around lake Garda are cheap and much quicker than the ferry.

One of the French respites - Morzine or Chamonix. Really lovely in the summer. Chamonix has a high ropes course, playgrounds a little lake and lots of things to do.
Or a kinder hotel in Austria.
