That was said while they were on the way to Shion, which Ren said, and I quote "is weeks away" when they were near Kuroyuri.

They were going to Mistral, Ruby specifically said they were staying in Mistral, and that city was at least 10X the size of any village.

On top of that, Ren and Nora were crossing the mountain to try and reach Mistral in advance of Ruby and Jaune.
