The Vincent Pyramid makes up a large buttress of the huge multi-summited Monte Rosa.

It lies south of the Ludwigshöhe on the border with Switzerland, between the Lysgletscher and the Piode Glacier.

A secondary summit of the Vincent Pyramid, the Punta Giordani/Giordanispétz (4,046 m (13,274 ft)), lies to the southeast.

Both Vincent Pyramid and Punta Giordani are on the official UIAA list of Alpine four-thousanders.

It is normally ascended from the Gnifetti Hut at the foot of the Lys Glacier and is rated as PD (Peu Difficile); a straightforward introduction to alpine climbing and often ascended in conjunction with another peak on Monte Rosa.
