Per chevron Argent and Sable in chief a Fleur-de-lis of the last.
Željko Heimer, 21 August 2001

The flag is canting with the fleur-de-lis above the triangle, which stands for a rock. Surses is Romansh for "above the rock/stone". The German name for Surses is Oberhalbstein.

On 1 January 2016 the new commune of Surses was formed through the merger of Bivio, Cunter, Mamorera, Mulegns, Riom-Parsonz, Salouf, Savognin, Sur and Tinizong-Rona (see below).
The emblem of the new commune is the emblem of the former Surses circle, which is identical with the new commune.
