The village is situated along the end of the Årdalsfjorden, an inner branch off of the great Sognefjord. Årdalstangen is located about northeast of the old municipal center of Indre Offerdal, and about east of the Seimsdalen valley. The lake lies to the north of the village, and to the north at the other end of the lake, lies the large village of Øvre Årdal. One road and two pedestrian bridges cross Hæreidselvi river which runs through the village, flowing from lake Årdalsvatnet into the Årdalsfjord.
