The area of the 3.75 km² large municipal area includes a section of the Bugey. The main part of the area is taken up by the approximately 2 km wide, flat valley plain of the Séran, which flows from northwest to southeast to the Rhone . To the west of the village, the Séran emerges from a rocky gorge and falls with an almost 70 m high waterfall ( Cascade de Cerveyrieu ) over a rock wall into the Artemare basin. In the area of Artemare, the Arvière (also called Groin) and the Dorfbach Yon flow into the Séran. In the south, the municipality reaches to the edge of the plateau of Ceyzérieu (up to 320 m ), in the west to the plateau de Fierloz ( 322 m ). To the north, the community area extends over the steep slope that leads to the Valromey. Artemare's highest point is reached on this slope at 360 m .
The hamlet of Cerveyrieu ( 255 m ) on the Séran near the waterfall belongs to Artemare . Neighboring municipalities of Artemare are Talissieu in the east, Ceyzérieu and Saint-Martin-de-Bavel in the south and Valromey-sur-Séran with Vieu in the west and in the north.
