Cormet de Roselend is a fair drive away but is well worth the effort. A nice, tough but one of the most scenic routes you can ride is a loop that can be done by starting in Beaufort (plenty of parking around the area), climbing up col du Pre, descending down to the Barrage (dam) de Roselend, ride across the dam wall and then alongside the lake and turn to ride up the Roselend. Come back down the Roselend and then descend back down into Beaufort.
Alternatively you can start in Ugine near Annecy. Here's the Strava pic and route profile from when I rode it last month plus gratuitous pics to illustrate the beauty of the dam when approached from Col du Pre.
