The Ice Path (Japanese: こおりのぬけみち Ice Path) is a four-floored cave located in the Johto region that connects Route 44 with Blackthorn City.
The Ice Path has numerous ice puzzles, which vary in size and difficulty, such as a Strength puzzle involving pushing boulders into holes in order to progress. It is the only place in Johto where wild Swinub, Jynx, and Delibird can be caught.

When the player interacts with a walking Pokémon in HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Pokémon may occasionally show an altered mood specific to this location:
- The Pokémon becomes more cautious.
- As it is cold, Ice-type Pokémon are happy whereas Grass-types aren't.
- Ground and Flying-type Pokémon constantly shiver.
- Other Pokémon curiously interact with the surrounding ice.
- On the ice tiles, the Pokémon likes to slide around and occasionally stare at its own reflection.
Layout
Differences between generations
In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the Ice Path looked like an average cave. It was redesigned in Pokémon Crystal, having received a completely new and unique tile set that better depicts it as an icy cave as well as changes in the features and puzzles. Its design in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is thus modeled after the Pokémon Crystal design.
In the Generation II games, collecting HM07 (Waterfall) is optional. In the Generation IV games, an NPC found nearby will claim that the HM is his and insist that the player take it, and he will not allow the player to proceed until they have collected the item.
In animation
Pokémon the Series
The Ice Path does not appear by that name in Pokémon the Series. The Ice Cave, which serves the same role as the Ice Path, appeared in the banned episode EP250. The Ice Cave has a Pokémon Center inside, where the local Nurse Joy is aided by a Jynx rather than a Chansey. Team Rocket attempted to steal Nurse Joy's Ice-type Pokémon by heating up the cave, but their plans were thwarted.
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
The Ice Path made a brief cameo appearance in All About Arceus III as one of the locations Silver and his Weavile ventured to in their search of the Plates scattered around Johto.
