Hours
Wikipedia's InterCity route list confirms IC1 runs Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Bern-Zürich hourly with no change of train, but independent aggregator snapshots disagree sharply on duration - one showing about 1 hour 51 minutes, another about 2 hours 11 minutes for the same city pair - so no single figure is stated as authoritative here.

Easy to get wrong
The wide spread between reported durations likely reflects IC1's direct working being mixed with slower IR/RE connections in the same search results; a traveller should confirm IC1 specifically rather than trust the first listed journey time.
