Certainly better than the current translation. "alpiner Steig" sounds 
more serious than "alpiner Wanderweg"

In T2 there can be already fall hazard and the picture for T4 in 
<http://alpen.sac-cas.ch/html_d/archiv/2002/200204/ad_2002_04_18.pdf> 
looks somewhat terrifying to me. :)
Maybe this danger is already implied, I'm from the flatlands, so I don't 
know much about hiking.

Btw.: You can use html markup to create a multiline entry, e.g.
<html><i>Wanderweg</i><br>  ausgeglichene Steigung, 
Absturzgefahr<br>  nicht ausgeschlossen</html>

(The height of the sac_scale field in the preset dialog will grow 
accordingly, but I would fix this little flaw later.)
