The new Cloud – the exclusive lifestyle magazine from Air Charter Service – has arrived and it’s time to go on an adventure or two.

In this issue, Chris Haslam and Joe McGorty transport you to the Italian Dolomites on a wildly remote climbing trip led by world-class professionals. The ultimate tailor-made escape, it’s also a great way to experience rustic Italy at its best – complete with delicious cuisine including casunziei-filled pasta and tagliatelle with ceps mushrooms…

From cliffhangers to black runs, it’s over to the Swiss Alps with Jessica Bennett to tackle some of the world’s best ski slopes at the Chalet Spa Verbier. The fantastic skiing opportunities are matched by the great après-ski and luxurious lifestyle too, so this five-star experience in the snow is one you won’t want to miss.

Editor James Day heads north again, this time to Scotland’s breathtaking Highlands. Complete with caber tossing at the Royal Braemar Highland Gathering, the hidden gem of a restaurant that politely gave its Michelin star back and accidentally climbing Scotland’s 14th-highest peak (long story), the famous Scottish farewell of “Haste ye back!” never sounded so appealing…

But if that all sounds too energetic, how about joining in the search for intelligent life in the universe by harnessing the power of your phone? Libby Plummer reports on the rise of ‘citizen science’, where anyone can meaningfully contribute to major interplanetary missions without having to boldly go outside the front door.

Meanwhile, Johnny Davis speaks exclusively to master tailor ‘Sir’ Tom Baker, where being fitted for a bespoke suit involves entering his gloriously punk wonderland as the skull on the cash register – yes, really – watches him wield the cutting edge of fashion.

Finally, Mike Waters reflects on artists such as Massive Attack taking merch to the next level. It’s about far more than the music these days and there are plenty of weird and wonderful new ideas but, as you’ll soon discover, perhaps it’s just in their DNA...

All this and more awaits you, so enjoy the view from above with Cloud.
