You could use an ACL that looks something like this:
inbound:
access-list 101 deny icmp any any
or
access-list 101 deny icmp any any echo # If you just want to stop incoming pings
outbound:
access-list 102 deny icmp any any unreachable
access-list 102 deny icmp any any time-exceeded
The 101 will stop pings from coming in, but it will also stop echo replies (a ping you iniate) from getting back to you.
Traceroute is more difficult. Traceroute is nothing more than a UDP packet that looks for a certain ICMP response from a router or host. If it receives an ICMP time exceeded message then the client knows that it is a router. If it is an ICMP unreachable then it has found the target host.
The 102 will stop all responses to traceroutes rendering the trace useless. It does not stop the initial traceroute packet at the router, it only stops the response.
