The vibrational properties of $\mathrm{CrI_3}$ single crystals were investigated using Raman spectroscopy and were analyzed with respect to the changes of the crystal structure. All but one mode are observed for both the low-temperature $R\bar{3}$ and the high-temperature C2/$m$ phase. For all observed modes the energies and symmetries are in good agreement with DFT calculations. The symmetry of a single-layer was identified as $p\bar{3}1/m$. In contrast to previous studies we observe the transition from the $R\bar{3}$ to the $\mathrm{C2}/m$ phase at 180\,K and find no evidence for coexistence of both phases over a wide temperature range.
