We are travelling from either Innsbruck or Verona to Ortisei in late September by train and bus. We can obviously book the train(s) in advance, but are reluctant to do so as the ticket can only be changed the day before. The problem is we cannot say whether our flight will be on time and it is therefore hard to say which train we would be able to catch. My question is, do the trains get booked out or will there likely be room to get a ticket on the day? Should we just get an advance ticket for several hours after the flight is supposed to land and hope it is on time or not bother to book in advance. I know this is a rather ridiculous question, but I do worry about these things....... We will use the Gardena Guest Pass from Bolzano to Ortisei for the bus, which can't be booked in advance, so that is also a worry. I have looked at the Sudtirol Clever Transfer, but that is really expensive, so would rather get the train! Thanks for your help.

I was often reported, and a couple of times personally witnessed heavy crowding on the EC trains between Munchen/Innsbruck to Italy in August. But maybe in late september could be better.
