Armoiries de Gryon

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were devised in 1922 and show in the upper part a cross as a symbol of the St.Maurice Abbey, to which the village belonged. The lower part shows two axes. These symbolise the determination with which the villagers cut down the poles used by the Bernese to mark the forests in the 17th century, when the village was no longer used by the city of Bern.
