The same IC1 working (Geneva Airport-Bern-Zürich HB-St Gallen) confirmed on Wikipedia's InterCity route list covers this leg in reverse with no change of train, but independent aggregator snapshots disagree sharply on duration for this direction too, mirroring the spread already seen on the Geneva-Bern leg, so no single figure is stated as authoritative here.

Easy to get wrong
Bern Hauptbahnhof's current layout is the product of three separate expansions after the original 1858-1860 build (1891, 1974, and 1999-2003) rather than one design, following Bern's 1848 designation as federal capital - so platform layout can look inconsistent to a first-time passenger transferring onward toward Geneva.
