The Icy Peak is located atop Mt. McLargeHuge. It is unlocked by defeating Groar as part of the Mt. McLargeHuge Quest.

Any amount of Cold Resistance is required to adventure here. Without it, you will see only the message:

"Those mists are frigid -- you should get back into your warm clothes before you head up there!"

Or, if the mists have been cleared:

"You need some sort of protection from the cold if you're going to visit the Icy Peak."

A primary stat of 53 is suggested. If your main stat isn't high enough, you'll see the following message:

As you near the Icy Peak, something big and white sneaks out from behind a nearby rock and smacks you in the head. When you regain consciousness, you're hanging feetfirst from the ceiling in some sort of snowy cave, and your lightsaber is on the ground a few feet away.
No, wait. That's a different story. When you regain consciousness, you're back down at the base of Mt. McLargeHuge.
(It is recommended that you have at least 53 <mainstat> to adventure here.)
