The Aonach Eagach is normally tackled from the Glen Coe (south) side in an east-west traverse. The best parking for this scrambling route is located just off the A82 at grid reference NN 17333 56746. From Allt-na-reigh near the head of Glen Coe a good path ascends Am Bodach (a subsidiary Munro top) and continues westwards along the ridge to the first Munro proper, Meall Dearg.
