The short answer
For a family of four, the private tundra evening at one price for up to four is the cheapest on paper, ten euros under four sleigh seats on the snowmobile evening, but its page prints no age limit, so check it takes your children. For two people, the sleigh seats are far cheaper. Book the snowmobile evening on the platform instead of directly if your dates might move: it refunds up to a day ahead, while the operator's own terms need a week.

The price of an aurora evening in Kilpisjärvi depends on the seat, the channel and the size of your party more than on the evening itself.
The seat
On the snowmobile evening the towed sleigh is the cheapest seat, sharing a machine costs 25 euros more a head and driving alone 75 more.1 The outfit, the photographs, the hot drink and the pastry are the same whichever seat you take.
The channel
Booked on the operator’s own site, the evening is refunded in full only if you cancel at least seven days before, and not at all after that; the company refunds everything if it cancels for dangerous weather.2 The platform listing allowed cancellation up to a day ahead when this site read it.
The party
Children pay the adult price, so a family’s total is simply the seats. The private tundra guide charges one sum for one to four people,3 which makes him the cheapest option for four and one of the dearest for two.

Questions people ask
Why does the same evening cost 190 euros on the platform?
The platform listing opens at 190 euros, the figure the operator's own page gives for driving a snowmobile alone. The own page lists all three seats: 115 euros in the towed sleigh, 140 each for two sharing a machine and 190 for one person driving alone. If you want the sleigh or a shared machine, check which seat the platform is charging for before you pay.
Are there extras to budget for?
A pick-up from accommodation within five kilometres is extra on the safari company's evenings: eight euros a person on its own site, and five on the platform when this site read it. Anyone driving a snowmobile on the platform listing accepts a self-liability of 1,000 euros per accident. The tundra guide charges 100 euros per snowmobile if you want to drive rather than ride in the sleigh.
What does the private sledge evening cost?
The agency's list shows a starting figure of 150 euros and does not say whether that is per person or for the party; the full price appears only once a date is chosen, which this site did not do. Its terms keep the advance payment, 30 per cent or 50 euros a person, if you cancel more than eight days ahead, and the full price after that.
