Blazon : In the shield, which is divided diagonally by silver (white) and black, a miner's hammer (pimple) in alternating colors placed diagonally to the right .

The new municipal coat of arms connects the coats of arms of the two former municipalities in an obliquely divided shield. The significant mining in Ausser- und Innerferrera led to the choice of the miner's hammer as a coat of arms for both communities in the colors of the church association .
