Røyrvik (Norwegian) or Raarvihke (Southern Sami) is a municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway.
[8] On 13 June 2014, the national government approved a resolution to add a co-equal, official Southern Sami language name for the municipality: Raarvihke.
It is called Raarvihke when it is spelled alone, but it is Raarvihken tjïelte when using the Sami language equivalent to "Røyrvik Municipality".
The official blazon is "Azure, a cross crosslet argent" (Norwegian: I blått et korset sølv kors).
The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used.
This design is a common decoration on the pottery, hand-made articles, and traditional pewter embroidery found in the area.
The highest point in the municipality is the 1,511.98-metre (4,960.6 ft) tall mountain Jetnamsklumpen, located inside Børgefjell National Park.
The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Røyrvik is made up of 11 representatives that are elected to four year terms.
