ROCHE

Canton : Vaud

Official blazon

Parti d'argent et d'azur à la montagne mi-partie de sinople et de sable soutenant à dextre un sapin de sinople et à senestre un chamois au naturel.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted in 1923.

The arms are based on an 18th century seal of the village, showing a mountain covered with pine trees and some chamois. A pine tree was also seen on the church bell of Roche dating from 1811.
