The Story of Bat Ya’ar Ranch

Established in 1985, Bat Ya’ar Ranch was born from a vision to create a true Galilean sanctuary.
For over 40 years, our family-owned ranch has become a synonym for warm hospitality and professional service. Perched 800 meters above sea level in the heart of the Biriya Forest, we offer a rare combination of European-style woodland scenery and authentic Israeli charm. From our renowned steakhouse to our private nature trails, every corner of the ranch is designed to let you breathe deep and connect with the serene beauty of the Galilee.

In the Heart of Birya Forest

High in the Galilee, nestled among ancient pine trees, lies Bat Yaar Ranch. An authentic village complex offering absolute tranquility and rare viewpoints overlooking the Hermon, the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret), and the Hula Valley.

The Cowboy Ranch

A heritage of riding since 1985. From professional forest trail rides for experts and beginners (ages 9 and up), to pony rides for the little ones within the ranch grounds, making every moment truly unforgettable.

Food from the Hearth

A premium meat restaurant offering prime cuts and long-smoke techniques. On weekends and holidays, you can also enjoy our "Forest Grill" - a relaxed cowboy-style meal in the open air.

The Bat Ya’ar Riding Experience

Horseback riding at Bat Ya’ar is a serene journey through the ancient landscapes of the Galilee. We offer a unique way to explore the Biriya Forest, far from the noise of the city, where the only sounds are the horses' footsteps and the wind in the pines.

Our professional guides lead you through private trails that reveal hidden panoramic views of the Hula Valley and Mount Hermon, making each ride a deeply personal connection to the wild beauty of Israel.

Whether you are seeking a romantic sunset trek or a soulful family adventure, our majestic horses provide the perfect pace to breathe in the crisp mountain air and discover the forest’s best-kept secrets.

Harmony and Nature: Our riding style emphasizes a calm, respectful connection with our horses. They are our partners in exploring the forest, known for their gentle temperament and expertise in navigating the mountain terrain.
Unmatched Scenery: Riding provides an elevated perspective of the North. As you move through private forest trails, you’ll discover hidden clearings and breathtaking vistas of the Hula Valley and Mount Hermon that are inaccessible by car.
Safe and Professional: Our expert guides ensure a safe and relaxing environment for everyone. We believe that riding should be an accessible pleasure, allowing you to focus entirely on the beauty surrounding you.
