Gisclareny (Catalan pronunciation: [ʒiskləˈɾɛɲ]) is a municipality in the county (Catalan: comarca) of Berguedà in Catalonia, Spain, located in Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park. In 2018 it regained its position as the smallest village in Catalonia after the village of Sant Jaume de Frontanyà grew by three families.[3] The altitude of the village varies between 800 m (2,600 ft) in the neighborhood of Bagà and 1,430 m (4,690 ft) in the neighborhood of Coll de la Bena. It is bounded to the north by the Cerdanya, reaching the peaks of the Serra del Cadí, and by Bagà; to the south and west by Saldes and Vallcebre; and to the east by Bagà and Guardiola de Berguedà. The landscape is characterised by alpine forests and meadows, with farmhouses scattered throughout the territory.
