Crushed ice in Zurich?

hi there

Where can one buy large (ie several kilo) quantities of crushed ice? We need this for a party that we're holding. In other countries bulk ice can be bought in service stations and supermarkets and bottle stores. Is it the same here in Zurich?

cheers
Sam

Carrefour in Lugano gave us several bags of crushed ice for free. There is one in Dietlikon, so maybe they can do the same.

Give eisexpress.ch a try. I've also heard that fish markets can provide ice on order. Have a good party!

As an aside, the Carrefour in Dietlikon is very busy and has amazing traffic jams on the weekend. I reckon it's worse than Ikea...
