The Aremogna plain or Aremogna plateau is a mountain plateau in southern Abruzzo, located in the municipal area of Roccaraso, in the lower province of L'Aquila, at an average altitude of 1450 m a.s.l., surrounded to the west by the Roccaraso mountains, a subgroup of the massif of Monte Greco. The ski lifts of the Roccaraso ski resort branch off from it, included within the Alto Sangro ski area. Below the Aremogna plain to the north, at an altitude of about 1265 m, is the Cinquemiglia plateau. The Aremogna plain sometimes records negative minimum winter temperature records.
