As I noted, one-way car rentals in Europe are ridiculous (like $2k+ one way)...so would prefer to fly in/out of same airport when visiting the Dolomites. That leaves VCE or INN; if I am not visiting Venice, I would rather go through INN (since I do want to visit Innsbruck).

Regarding flights - I was able to price out INN-FRA-CPH-CDG around $300...adding the CDG leg (which I would definitely be doing) actually lowers the price. I can likely burn miles if the cost gets higher (have a load of excess UA miles).
