Gisclareny is a small town, called a municipality, in the Berguedà region of Catalonia, Spain. It is found inside the beautiful Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park.

It is surrounded by other places. To the north are Cerdanya and the tall peaks of the Serra del Cadí mountains. To the south and west are Saldes and Vallcebre. To the east are Bagà and Guardiola de Berguedà. The area is mostly covered in alpine forests and green meadows. Many farmhouses are spread out across the land.
