Where can I buy ICE in Geneva
Jul 1, 2009 @ 19:07
This might be a silly question but at home you can buy big packets of ice at the department store. We are having a party and I want a big packet of ice to fill a big bucket with ice to keep the drinks cold. I asked at Coop but they thought I was asking for plastic containers to make my own ice! No, I want ready made ice!! Any suggestions?

Go to any big supermarket (big migros or big coop) possibily one with a fresh fish sector. If you carry (or purchase there) a Freeze bag (you know those bags they sell in the supermarkets to carry the frozen products home), they usual just fill it with ICE for free or a small fee. Now, this is strictly ICE that might have been used to cool their food/fish/meet etc. it won't smell or anything like that, so it's pretty ok to cool drinks for aparty but I wouldn't recommend to use it to actually make cocktails.

I don't know of any other way :(

Some of the gas stations sell ready made ice, in big plastic bags. Let me ask around and see which ones, and I'll revert.

Or, you can go for the fish-ice that hoiling mentioned (which I admit, I use at times too). But if you use the fish-ice then I'm not having any ice-drinks at your place! (-:

From last year's post it seems that Allegro in Geneva has bagged ice that was located close to the meat section.



Or for larger quantities (from Casuistik last year):

These people offer pick up and delivery service for larger quantities.

You'll find ice in a gas station called Agip, Route de Lausanne. Close to Le Reposoir/Jardin Botanique.

As far as I can tell most BP stations have it.
