If you use the JOSM preset Highways-> Streets -> Bridge, it doesn't 
change the highway tag.

So first choose Highways -> Ways -> Demanding mountain hiking. That will 
add the tags for highway=path and sac_scale=demanding_mountain_hiking.
Then choose the bridge preset - it will still have the tags for path and 
hiking, plus it will also have the tag for bridge=yes.

Though its probably easier/quicker just to manually add the bridge=yes 
tag, without bothering with the presets.
