Description: Blazon:„Sable, above a tree stump gules in the base, a chamois rampant Argent.“ The arms were granted on July 15, 1981. The chamois is a symbol for the medieval privilege of the inhabitants of Grän to hunt some of them each year. In 1650 the privileges were confirmed and from then on it was allowed to use guns for the hunt. The tree stump is a canting symbol. Grän is derived from "Geröne"; it means cleared (forest) area.
