In 2003, a platform for the vegueria of Alt Ter was created, encompassing Osona and RipollĆØs (and Garrotxa in some instances).
      In 2023, the municipalities of the counties of Bages and Osona were integrated into the new county of LluƧanĆØs, thus making up part of the Alt Ter vegueria proposal.


      Geography


      The region's most populous settlements are Vic, Manlleu, Roda de Ter, TorellĆ³, Ripoll, Ribes de Freser, Prats de LluƧanĆØs and Camprodon.
