Vincent Pyramid

The Vincent Pyramid rises to 4,215 meters between the Lysgletscher and Piode Glacier, featuring a trapezoidal face topped with an ice cap on its southwestern slope.

Brothers Nicolas and Joseph Vincent from Gressoney-Saint-Jean achieved the first recorded climb to the summit on August 15, 1819, establishing a new route in Alpine exploration.

The mountain serves as a centerpiece for the Gressoney-La-Trinité Alpine Guides Society, which manages the Città di Mantova Mountain Hut at 3,498 meters elevation.

Climbers can access the mountain via the Salati cable car station at 2,737 meters, with the ascent taking approximately six and a half hours through established routes.

The peak marks the southernmost 4,000-meter elevation point in the Monte Rosa massif, positioned between Punta Giordani and Colle Vincent in the Pennine Alps.
