  • Descrição: The strategic position of Catalonia in the Mediterranean region, straddling the route between central Europe and Africa, propelled the development of cartography from the Middle Ages onward. Because the territory is rugged, detailed mountain maps are an important part of the Catalonian cartographic legacy. The Cartoteca de Catalunya - the Catalan map library - has nice examples of old maps centred in mountain areas. Today, advanced technologies are being implemented by the Institut Cartogr fic de Catalunya to generate a wide range of cartographic products, including mountain maps. These old maps and the current cartographic products, preserved or produced at the Institut Cartogr fic de Catalunya, contribute interesting examples of mountain cartography to be offered in a publication focused on this topic. This paper is divided in two parts. The first - after a brief introduction describing the Catalan relief in order to locate the mountain areas in the territory - gives a historical overview of cartography in Catalonia, showing some examples of old maps. This overview is included in the context of mountain cartography because a large number of maps of Catalonia produced during the last two centuries were centred in mountain areas. This overview helps to explain the evolution of some mountain maps until the current production at the Institut Cartogr fic de Catalunya, which comprises the second part of the paper. Moreover, the thematic products related to mountain cartography - some series that include a large number of sheets of mountainous areas - will be also included in the paper. The paper is focused more on the presentation of mountain cartographic products than on a detailed description of the processes or the problems encountered in the production of each product. More detailed information about some of the products can be found on the Internet at http://www.icc.es. La situation stratgique de la Catalogne au sein de la rgion mditerranenne,   mi-chemin entre l'Europe et l'Afrique, y a permis un dveloppement prcoce (Moyen-Age) de la cartographie. Et c'est   cause du caractre rude de ce territoire, que la cartographie dtaille de montagne fait partie intgrante de l'hritage cartographique catalan. La Cartoteca de Catalunya, la cartothque catalane, possde quelques exemples intressants de cartes de montagne. De plus, l'avance technologique actuelle de l'Institut de Cartographie de Catalogne lui permet la cration d'une large gamme de produits cartographiques, y compris des cartes de montagne. Ces vieilles cartes et ces produits cartographiques actuelles, crs ou conservs   l'Institut de Cartographie de Catalogne, constituent un fond intressant pour la diffusion d'une publication concernant ce sujet. Cet article est divis en deux parties. La premire, aprs un brve introduction dcrivant les reliefs catalans afin de reprer les zones montagneuses au sein du territoire, propose un aper§u historique de la cartographie en Catalogne   l'aide de quelques exemples de cartes historiques. L'aper§u historique est inclus au sein de la cartographie de montagne car un grand nombre de cartes produites en Catalogne durant ces deux dernires sicles reprsentaient des zones montagneuses. Cet aper§u permettra notamment d'expliquer l'volution de quelques cartes de montagne, vers les productions actuelles de l'Institut de Cartographie de Catalogne qui constituent la seconde partie de cet article. En plus des productions thmatiques relatives   la cartographie de montagne, un ensemble de cartes de rgions montagneuses sera galement propos. Ce papier est plus centr sur la prsentation de produits de cartographie de montagne, que sur une description dtaille des processus et problmes concernant la production de ces produits. De plus amples informations concernant ces produits peuvent ªtre trouves sur les pages web suivantes: http://www.icc.es
