Origin/meaning :

The arms were officially granted on March 7, 2010.

The mountains symbolise the high mountains surrounding the village. The quartz crystals symbolise that quartz can be mined in the area and at the same time they symbolise the glass manufacture in the municipality.

The two silver shells are the symbol of St. James, the local patron saint. The wavy bar symbolises the many (small) rivers in the municipality.
