Lara Colturi is the daughter of former Olympic champion Daniela Ceccarelli and ski coach Alessandro Colturi. She was born in Turin and grew up in Cesana Torinese in the Susa Valley.[5][6] She has one younger brother, Yuri.

Her mother started consulting for the Albanian Ski Federation [wd] in 2020, and became Technical Director of their women's alpine team the following season. In May 2022, Colturi received an FIS affiliation with the ASF and she began to represent Albania internationally.[6][7][8]

Colturi won the overall, slalom, giant slalom, and alpine combined at the South American Alpine Ski Cup [de] titles.[3]

On 19 November 2022 during the 2023 Alpine Ski World Cup, Colturi made her World Cup debut in the slalom in Levi, Finland, missing qualifications for the second heat.[9] She finished 17th the following week in the giant slalom, earning her first points in the Alpine Ski World Cup.[10]

Colturi became the third-youngest gold medalist at Junior World Championships 2023, when she won the super-G in St. Anton, Austria.[2][failed verification]

On 7 February 2023, Lara tore the cruciate ligament in her right knee while training.[11] Less than nine months later, she returned to World Cup ski racing in Sölden on 28 October.[12]
