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.
