Alt Urgell County is in the heart of the Upper Pyrenees, in the valley of the River Segre. The county capital, La Seu d’Urgell, opens out onto a plain on which the main access routes to the Pyrenees converge. Alt Pirineu and Cadí-Moixeró Natural Parks are outstanding.
The county boasts a large, valuable cultural heritage, finding its highest expression in Romanesque art and architecture (e.g. Santa Maria Cathedral in La Seu d’Urgell, the church of Sant Climent in Coll de Nargó and the monastery of Sant Serni de Tavèrnoles in Anserall).
River Segre Olympic Park is the most emblematic sports facility in the county.

Ossera is an artisan village located between La Vansa and Fórnols, where the women traditionally peddled turpentine and fir oils from door to door, as well as herbs and traditional remedies.
La Seu d’Urgell Diocesan Museum boasts one of the main collections of religious art in Catalonia, and is particularly rich in items from the mediaeval period.
This museum opened in 1998 with the aim of conserving the memory of the turpentine oil peddlers (“trementinaires”) living in La Vansa Valley.
