I grønt tre sølv kors samlet i form av et gaffelkors.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on December 17, 1982.
The crossed Y has several meanings. First it symbolises the landscape, which is based of three main valleys and many small, Y-shaped, valleys entering the main valley. Furthermore in the municipality is a major Y-shaped road- and railway junction. Finally the Budal church, dating from 1745 is one of the oldest and one of the few Y-shaped churches in the country.
