Recommendations wanted for long weekend of day tours in early Feb

I'm planning to sneak in a long weekend with friends in early February, and would welcome advice on where to go and recommendations for hiring a guide for two days of day tours.

Plan is to fly out Thursday night and return Monday morning.  So a short transfer time is very important.

Warm up day by oursleves on the Friday, and then day tours with a guide on the Sat and Sun.

We're S2 skiers, inexperienced in the world of touring and fairly experienced mountaineers.  Our emphaisis is more on enjoying the touring than doing anything involving technical mountaineering.  We'd ideally prefer somewhere where we can get away from it all - the Vallee Blanch is not on our list!

Having said that, Chamonix springs to mind as the obvious destination, but we'd welcome ideas!
