@Chrissy yes, they are. Apart from that one day (trail grown over), we did not have any issue navigating. You need to get used to the red dot a bit, which sometimes blends in with the surroundings, but you will get the hang of it. The red T is easier to spot. That long day was in no means representative for the rest of the tour.
@Chrissy small "warning" about the route of our day 3. This was super long and not often hiked, so we had to search for the route a lot of times (especially at the beginning in the woods). Took us 11 hours hiking!
And a general thing, the published hiking times are for stunning Norwegians Gods I guess. You can easily count 25-50% additional time for us mortals.
@Chrissy let me know if you have questions, happy to help if I can.
@Chrissy By the way, in case you need special services, I can wholeheartedly recommend https://uteguiden.com/en. We went kayaking with them, but we were also able to arrange transport with them to/from Ålesund and even a pickup higher up in the valley, so we did not have to walk 3 hours over roads. Public transport is not great and in this way we were very efficient with our time. We were a party of 7, so we have a bit more budget perhaps, but in any case, check them out.
When we arrived in Ålesund some of the luggage did not arrive and they went with us to the store to get the replacement stuff, called colleagues for other gear etc. They were absolutely amazing. 6 stars.
@Chrissy I was in the area in 2022 and when I recall correctly we used the app of UT primarily.
Find marked routes, hiking, cycling and skiing throughout Norway.

Maybe you find some further route inspiration on my website about the hike we did in 2022.
Have fun, it is stunning there.
