Province : Innlandet (until 2020 Oppland)

Arms of Øyer

Official blazon

I grønt ei sølv helder.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted April 29, 1983.

The arms show a typical wooden ring, or helder, made of tree and used to fasten a tree trunk to haul it over the land. Similar devices were used all over Norway, but this shape is typical for the area.
