East of Loch Etive, Beinn nan Aighenan is a fairly isolated mountain, for the most part hidden from view by the bulk of mighty Ben Starav.

The most direct route to Beinn nan Aighenan is from the head of Loch Etive, where a stalkers path follows a burn to the col between Glas Bheinn Mhor and Ben Starav and a faint hillwalkers path leads to the summit. With the need to cross this col, most hillwalkers will most likely opt to include one or more of the nearby Munros in the same walk.

Beinn nan Aighenan could also be approached from Victoria Bridge to the east or Glen Kinglass to the south.
