Where to stay in Tirol

My wife and are planning to spend 3-4 days in the Tirol area during mid-June after the Dolomites before we head up to Munich to fly home. We'd like to find a medium-small village to stay: not so big that it's overly busy and touristy but not so small that there's limited food and accommodations options. We're still trying to gauge what's realistic to do in our time frame; whether we stay in an ideal valley (e.g. Stubai or Zillertal) and just focus on hiking locally or if we want to find a central location (e.g. Reutte or Seefeld) that will allow us to access few different locations.

Other details:
- We're not planning to rent a car after the Dolomites but if it seems to be a major benefit, we would consider it.
- We'll be doing a ton of hiking in the Dolomites so we're open to other activities but currently planning to focus on hiking or other alpine activities.
- We're also open to traversing the boarder into Bavaria.
- A complete different option would be finding a lake village location outside of Salzberg similar to Hallstatt (though that sounds to be overly busy). We would take any recommendations in that regards as well.
- Any other helpful tips or insights would be appreciated!

Thank you!

My picks would be Mittenwald in Germany or St. Gilgen in Austria.

Pertisau, Achensee. Unfortunately getting more touristic and expensive by the minute. Small hotels have remodeled into resort hotels. Plenty of holiday apartments though. You are right next to the Naturpark Karwendel. Several lifts in the area into the mountains. You can bike and boat. You’ll need a taxi or bus the last kilometers. You can get into the Zillertal too.
