At least in Switzerland, where whe have countless of hiking routes [1] (every yellow, red or blue line on the map belongs to a hiking route), mapping them is very similar to mapping a bus route. There's the same problem with multiple routes using the same road or path. [2] (I split the routes at every possible intermediate locations, otherwise there were a lot more route relations sharing the same way.)
