The Ice Well of the Stepar is a work of Vacarisses (Vallès Occidental) protected as a Cultural Property of Local Interest. It is located in the north-west of the municipality, within the natural park of Sant Llorenç del Munt and Serra de l'Obac. It is close to the road that connected Manresa and Barcelona, close to the stretch that joined the new house of Obac and the house of Barata, in a wooded area that can be reached on foot.

The wells were abandoned at the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century. In 1990 it was restored by the Diputació de Barcelona, manager of the Natural Park of Sant Llorenç del Munt and Serra de l'Obac.
