The adjectives alternate and alternative may look and sound similar, but have different meanings:
alternate: occurring in a successive or replacing manner
alternative: different from the usual, conventional or accepted
The word alternative can also be a noun, as in the following sentence:
An alternate traveling route is suggested as an alternative to the most frequently taken route.
