Northern lights tour price in Ylitornio: the figures that exist
Illustration photo: an aurora seen from a car, not on the tour described here.
The short answer
Budget 99 euros a head for the car hunt that collects you in Ylitornio: pick-up is in the price, and so is a refund if bad weather stops the tour, which no other evening here offers. The local evening sled and snowmobile show their prices only in a dated booking calendar, so open it before you compare. Tornio's evenings cost 110 to 135 euros a head before the drive.

Two hours on snowshoes over the ice to an island on the Swedish side, from eight in the evening, for two or more.
Highlighted figures are the best in that row: the lowest price per person, the lowest total for two adults and money back if the weather stops the tour. All three print a price per person and no child price, so the totals are for adults only. The Ylitornio activity centre's evenings are left out because their prices appear only in a dated calendar.

One aurora evening sold to Ylitornio publishes its price. Everything else is either behind a calendar or down the valley.
The one published figure
The car hunt from Kemi costs 99 euros a head. It is the cheapest of the priced evenings and the only one that comes to Ylitornio to collect you.1
The local evenings
The activity centre on Kopanmäentie sells its evening sled and evening snowmobile trip through a calendar that shows a price only for a chosen date. Open it for your date; there is nothing to compare until you do.
The Tornio evenings, and their terms
Tornio’s two evenings cost more and start 49 minutes away, and the company’s terms keep the whole price for a cancellation inside two days.2 The evenings themselves are compared on northern lights in Ylitornio and northern lights in Tornio.
Questions people ask
Is 99 euros what we will actually pay?
It is the starting price. The listing reads from 99 euros per person, which is the lowest figure it shows, and a particular date or option can cost more. The Tornio company prints a single price per person for each evening rather than a from-price. Check the figure for your own date on the booking page before you add it to a budget.
Is winter clothing in any of these prices?
None of the three priced evenings mentions clothing, and neither do the local activity centre's evenings, so plan on your own warm layers or ask when you book. The one aurora evening in the area that lends a full winter outfit is Sea Lapland Safaris' drive from Kemi at 115 euros a head, whose listing does not name Ylitornio among its pick-ups.
What does the drive to Tornio add?
About 49 minutes each way from Ylitornio, which is fuel and an evening that ends later, not a ticket. The late watch in Tornio ends at midnight Finnish time, so a Tornio evening from Ylitornio means getting home around one in the morning, and it needs four people to run. That cost does not appear in any price, but it belongs in the comparison.
