Blazon: I rødt en stående sølv rype. In English: Gules a grouse argent.
Approved by the royal resolution of 4 March 1988 after a drawing by Kari Vårhus
Sagen.
The flag is prescribed in the ratio 3:4.
A grouse (ptarmigan) is a game bird typical for the region. Initially the design
was blue shield with the silver bird, but it was pointed out by the central
authorities that this is too similar with EnontekiÖ in Finland (the municipal
site gives Enorteliø, but it must be a typo; EnontekiÖ indeed uses azure a
grouse argent, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enonteki%C3%B6), so the shield was changed to
red.
